Ex parte NIRO NAKAMICHI
__________
Appeal No. 1997-3980
Application 08/253,887

ON BRIEF1
__________
Before THOMAS, DIXON and BARRY, Administrative Patent Judges.
THOMAS, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
Appellant has appealed to the Board from the examiner's final rejection of
claims 1, 8, 13 and 15. Claims 9-12 and 17 have been allowed, and the examiner
has objected to claims 2-7, 14 and 16.
1Inasmuch as the panel has only recently received this appeal for decision, we note
initially that the examiner's communication on April 21, 2000, indicated that appellant's
request for oral hearing was not filed in a timely manner. Therefore, this decision is
rendered on brief.
