Appeal No. 1998-2375 Application 08/512,065 asserted by appellants in the principal brief. The responsive arguments portion of the answer beginning at page 4 does not address these arguments of patentability of these respective dependent claims. Therefore, we reverse the rejection of them. In summary, we have sustained the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 1 through 3, 5 through 13, 15, 17 through 24, 26 through 42, 45 through 54 and 56 through 58 because the particulars of these claims have not been argued by appellants. On the other hand, we do agree with appellants' view that claims 4, 25, 43, 44 and 55 would not have been obvious to the artisan within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103. Therefore, the decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part. 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
