Appeal No. 1998-1098
Application No. 08/308,426
The decision also remanded the instant application to the
examiner to reassess the patentability of each claim in view
of the combined teachings of the appellant’s admitted prior
art, U.S. Patent No. 4,439,694 to Fox, and Uyemura,
Fundamentals of MOS Digital Integrated Circuits 35 (1988).
Responsive to the remand, the examiner issued a paper, which
is attached. Nothing explained therein alters our
aforementioned affirmance and reversal.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the rejection of claims 20-34 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, ¶ 1 remains affirmed. The rejections of claims 1-12
and 14-19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over AAPA and of
claims 20-34 under § 103 as obvious over AAPA in view of Fox,
however, remain reversed.
This supplemental decision does not change the provisions
of 37 C.F.R. § 1.197(b) regarding a request for rehearing. No
time period for taking any subsequent action in connection
with this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
