Appeal No. 2001-1969
Application No. 09/040,478
rejection of claims 34 and 35 cannot be sustained. As a final
point, we simply note that the examiner applied the respective
Mangano and Brune references for features other than the issue
addressed above, and we do not perceive that these documents
overcome the earlier explained deficiency of the Adams and “The
Joker’s Wild” disclosures.
In summary, this panel of the board has sustained the
rejection of claims 32 and 33 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, fourth
paragraph, but has not sustained any of the examiner’s rejections
under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
The decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.
