          Application No. 08/400,637                                                  




          Giving the claims their broadest reasonable interpretation,                 
          the limitations recite generating a three way call in response              
          to detecting movement of a cellular cordless telephone between              
          a cellular telephone system and a cordless telephone system.                


               The Gillig references would have suggested the                         
          limitations.  Specifically, Figure 8 of each of the references              
          shows a process for automatically transferring a call in-                   
          process on a cellular cordless telephone (CCT) between a                    
          cellular telephone system and a cordless telephone system.                  
          The process includes detecting movement of the CCT from the                 
          cellular system to the cordless  system (706) and vice versa                
          (708).  In response to the detection, the process transfers a               
          cellular call to the cordless system (718) or a cordless call               
          to the cellular system (714), respectively.  Figure 7 of each               
          of the Gillig references, moreover, shows generating a three                
          way call (616).  In addition, the appellants admit that it was              
          known to use three way calling to solve the problem of a user               
          who moves between a cordless telephone system and a cellular                
          telephone system missing an incoming call routed to the system
