Before WINTERS, WILLIAM F. SMITH, and ADAMS, Administrative Patent Judges.
WINTERS, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This appeal was taken from the examiner's decision rejecting claims 1, 2, 5, 6, and
12 through 16. Claim 3 stands objected to as depending from a rejected base claim, but
would be allowable if rewritten in independent form (Examiner's Answer, page 2). Claims
7 through 11, which are the only other claims remaining in the application, stand withdrawn
from further consideration by the examiner as directed to a non-elected invention.
