Paper No. 36 UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE __________ BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS AND INTERFERENCES __________ Ex parte ROBERT FRIGG __________ Appeal No. 1999-0713 Application 08/325,629 ___________ HEARD: March 8, 2001 ___________ Before ABRAMS, MCQUADE, and GONZALES, Administrative Patent Judges. MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judge. DECISION ON APPEAL Robert Frigg originally took this appeal from the final rejection of claims 8 through 17. The appellant has since canceled claim 8, amended claims 9, 15 and 17, and added claim 18. The appeal now involves claims 9 through 17. New claim 18, the only other claim pending in the application, stands objected to, presumably because it depends from a rejected base claim. 1Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
