Appeal No. 2000-1511
Application 08/671,853
We do not need to consider the remaining dependent claims
because appellants have not argued these claims and/or because
the additionally applied prior art does not overcome the
deficiencies noted above in the main combination of Butsuen and
Ishikawa. These remaining claims, therefore, stand or fall with
the claims from which they depend.
In summary, the rejection of all appealed claims under
the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 is not sustained. The
rejection of all appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is not
sustained with respect to claims 100-113, 115-122, 125-128, 134
and 139-161, but is sustained with respect to claims 129-132, 135
and 136. Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting
claims 100-113, 115-122, 125-132, 134-136 and 139-161 is
affirmed-in-part.
