Application 08/724,459
radio transceiver to be received within a PCMCIA slot.
Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A wireless modem comprising:
a radio transceiver having a first interface and a second
interface, the second interface allowing the radio transceiver to
be received within a PCMCIA slot;
a baseband modem having a first interface; and
means for establishing communication between the radio
transceiver through the first interface thereof and the baseband
modem through the first interface thereof.
The examiner relies on the following references:
Robinson et al. (Robinson) 5,544,222 Aug. 06, 1996
Suomi et al. (Suomi) 5,657,371 Aug. 12, 1997
(filed Aug. 26, 1996)
Gradeler 5,701,515 Dec. 23, 1997
(filed June 16, 1994)
Claims 1-4 and 6-8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
As evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Suomi in view of
Gradeler with respect to claims 1 and 6-8, and the examiner adds
Robinson with respect to claims 2-4.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the
examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for the
respective details thereof.
