          Application No. 08/400,637                                                  


               First, the appellants argue, “[n]owhere in the preferred               
          embodiment of the priority document does the priority document              
          teach or suggest using one transceiver to origninate [sic] and              
          receive calls in both the cordless and cellular telephone                   
          systems."  (Appeal Br. at 14.)  Claims 27-29 specify in                     
          pertinent part the following limitations: "a transceiver, ...               
          originating                                                                 
          and receiving cellular calls, using the transceiver ...;                    
          originating and receiving cordless calls, using the                         
          transceiver ...."  Giving the claims their broadest reasonable              
          interpretation, the limitations can include using several                   
          transmitters and receivers to originate and receive calls in                
          cordless and cellular telephone systems.                                    


               The Gillig references would have suggested the                         
          limitations.  Specifically, Figure 2 of each of the references              
          shows a cordless receiver 112, a cordless transmitter 114, a                
          cellular receiver 122, and a cellular transmitter 124.                      
          Similarly, Figure 3 of each of the Gillig references depicts a              
          cordless receiver 214, a cordless transmitter 212, a cellular               
          receiver 224, and a cellular transmitter 222.
