Appeal No. 2001-2204
Application No. 09/155,413
reading of exemplary claims 12, 19, and 23, respective copies of
which appear in "Appendix I" of the main brief (Paper No. 11).
The following rejection is the sole rejection before us for
review.1
Claims 12 through 232 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first paragraph, as containing subject matter not described in
the specification in such a way to enable one skilled in the art
to make and/or use the invention.
The full text of the examiner's rejection and response to
the argument presented by appellant appears in the answer (Paper
No. 14), while the complete statement of appellant's argument can
be found in the main and reply briefs (Paper Nos. 11 and 15).
1 A final rejection of claims 12 through 23 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) was expressly withdrawn by the examiner in the answer
(page 2).
2 In error, the answer (page 2) set forth only claims 12
through 22 as being rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, whereas the final rejection (Paper No. 7) specified
claims 12 through 23, as set forth above.
