Anupam.
Reference is made to the brief and answer for the respective positions of
appellants and the examiner.
OPINION
We AFFIRM.
1 Presumably, claims 17 and 20 are also rejected on this ground. Even though these claims
were omitted from the statement of rejection in the answer, it is clear, from their mention at the bottom of
page 3 of the answer, that these claims are similarly rejected and we will treat them as such.
