Appeal No. 1999-2285
Application 08/826,277
The examiner relies on the following references:
Higashiyama 4,389,688 June 21, 1983
Yumura et al. (Yumura) 5,079,660 Jan. 07, 1992
Ariga JP 60-167172 Aug. 30, 1985
Claims 25-34 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As
evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Higashiyama in
view of Ariga and Yumura.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the
examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejection advanced by the examiner and the
evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support
for the rejection. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into
consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’
arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner’s
rationale in support of the rejection and arguments in
rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer.
