Appeal No. 1998-0023
Application 08/470,374
matter. Accordingly, we will not sustain the examiner’s
rejection of this claim under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
In light of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner
rejecting claims 17 through 30 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, is reversed. However, the examiner’s decision to
reject claims 17 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on the
combined teachings of Miyata, Fredriksson and Gillner is
affirmed. The decision of the examiner to reject claims 21
through 30 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on the combination of
Miyata and Gillner is affirmed as to claims 21, 23 and 24, but
is reversed as to claims 22 and 25 through 30. Thus, the
examiner’s decision is affirmed-in-part.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
