Appeal No. 2000-0168
Application No. 08/934,393
decision.
Claims 15 through 17, 22, 23, 27, 30 through 38, 41
through 43, and 45 through 53 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
101 as being directed to a non-statutory matter. There is no
art rejection in the case.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant and the
examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for1
the respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have considered the rejection advanced by the examiner
and the supporting arguments. We have, likewise, reviewed the
appellant’s arguments set forth in the briefs.
We reverse.
In response to the final rejection (paper no. 23) which
in turn references the previous rejection (paper no. 19),
appellant argues with respect to claims 15 through 17, 22, 23,
A reply brief (paper no. 34) and a supplemental reply brief (paper no.1
35) were filed on July 12, 1999, and July 23, 1999 respectively. The entry of
both of these documents was noted by the examiner (paper no. 36) without any
further response.
