Appeal No. 1999-2006
Application No. 08/561,960
The Examiner relies on the following references:
Paterson 4,763,177 Aug. 9, 1988
Matsushita 5,502,321 Mar. 26, 1996
(filing date: Oct. 24, 1994)
Claims 1 and 6 to 9 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102
as anticipated by Matsushita, while claims 2 to 5 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Matsushita in view of Paterson.
Rather than repeat the positions and the arguments of
Appellant and the Examiner, we make reference to the briefs and 2
the answer for their respective positions.
OPINION
We have considered the rejections advanced by the Examiner.
We have, likewise, reviewed the Appellant's arguments against
the rejections as set forth in the briefs.
It is our view, after consideration of the record before
us, that the rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and under 35
U.S.C. § 103 are not proper. Accordingly, we reverse.
2A reply brief was filed as Paper No. 13. The Examiner
noted its entry, see Paper No. 14.
