Appeal No. 2000-2237 Application 08/723,712 communicate with a land station under the second control protocol when the handset is moved beyond range of the local base station. Nagashima teaches a “manual” command [e.g., see the abstract portion of Nagashima]. Therefore, as argued by appellants [reply brief, page 11], to replace the automatic system selection of Schellinger with manual selection would appear to be contrary to the Schellinger teachings. None of the additional references cited by the examiner against the dependent claims provides for the deficiencies of Nagashima and Schellinger noted supra. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
