Appeal No. 1998-2463 Page 3
Application No. 08/598,854
10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable in1
view of Andrews in view of Appel, further in view of Asada.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the examiner’s answer (Paper
No. 8, mailed March 30, 1998) and the final rejection (Paper
No. 5, mailed October 27, 1997) for the examiner’s complete
reasoning in support of the rejections, and to the appellant’s
brief (Paper No. 7, filed February 9, 1998) for the
appellant’s arguments thereagainst. Only those arguments
actually made by the appellant have been considered in this
decision. Arguments which the appellant could have made but
chose not to make in the brief have not been considered. See
37 CFR 1.192(a).
OPINION
1The examiner (answer, page 3) notes that a substantially correct copy
of claim 9 appears in the appendix to the brief. A correct copy of claim 9 is
attached to this decision.
