Appeal No. 1998-1794 Application 08/738,467 Moon et al. (Moon) 4,712,146 December 8, 1987 Hajec 4,734,606 March 29, 1988 Rabe 4,763,053 August 9, 1988 Shirotori 4,818,907 April 4, 1989 Petersen 4,949,000 August 14, 1990 Claims 20-30 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, as failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which applicant regards as his invention. The prior art rejections do not address the patentability of claims 28, 29, 34, and 38 under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 or 103. This appears to be a result of carelessness, since the Examiner has not indicated that the claims are objected to. We place these claims in the rejection with the claims from which they depend. - 3 -Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
