Appeal No. 1999-1612
Application 08/614,188
artisan cannot be charged with the knowledge thereof.1
On page 2 of the request for rehearing, Appellant
challenges our findings on the state of the prior art. For
the first time, Appellant presents Bellcore Communications
Research Technical Reference TR-TSY-000031, Issue 1, dated
June 1986 for consideration (hereinafter Bellcore ‘031,
1986) . Appellant also directs attention to Bell2
Communications Research Technical Reference TR-TSY-000030,
Issue 1, dated November 1988 (hereinafter Bellcore ‘030)
originally made of record during prosecution. Appellant
argues that recently discovered passages in the above
references clearly provide details that would enable one
skilled in the art to perform the step of “transmitting DN
information to a busy called station after a call waiting tone
is applied for an incoming call receiving call waiting
treatment” as recited in claim 54. Appellant specifically
directs our attention to page 1, section 1.1, second
1See page 14 of the decision dated February 28, 2001.
