Appeal No. 1999-1515 Application No. 08/451,719 Turning to a consideration of independent claim 30, and its dependent claims 31 and 32, directed to the feature of preventing establishment of a communication link over at least one channel on determination of departure of a mobile terminal from a “steady state” zone, we do not sustain the Examiner’s obviousness rejection of these claims as well. We agree with Appellants (Brief, page 9) that this aspect of this invention, which reserves at least one channel so that it can be used for possible call “hand-off,” is not taught or suggested by any of the applied prior art references. 11Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
