Appeal No. 1998-3106
Application 08/679,603
THE REJECTIONS
The claims stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
follows: claims 1, 3-8, 12 and 13 over Schulz in view of
Antonen and
Bilgrien, and claims 1-13 over Schulz in view of Antonen,
Bilgrien and Gray.1
OPINION
We affirm the aforementioned rejections.
The appellants state that claims 1-13 stand or fall
together (brief, page 2). We therefore limit our discussion
to one claim, i.e., claim 1, which is the sole independent
claim. See In re Ochiai, 71 F.3d 1565, 1566 n.2, 37 USPQ2d
1127, 1129 n.2 (Fed. Cir. 1995); 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(7)(1997).
