Paper No. 22 UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE ____________ BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS AND INTERFERENCES ____________ Ex parte BYEONG-DUCK LEE ____________ Appeal No. 2001-1448 Application No. 09/121,036 ____________ ON BRIEF ____________ Before FRANKFORT, STAAB, and MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judges. FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge. DECISION ON APPEAL This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 12 through 28, all of the claims remaining in this application. On page 11 of the examiner's answer (Paper No. 18), it has been indicated that claims 26 through 28 now stand objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form. Accordingly, only claims 12 through 25 remain for our consideration on appeal. Claims 1 through 11 have been canceled.Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
