Application No. 09/411,369
Claim 1 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being
anticipated by Torii.
Claim 2 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as
anticipated by or, in the alternative, under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
obvious over Torii.
Claim 3 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Torii in view of Ch 274,269.
Rather than reiterate the details of the above-noted
rejections and the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the
examiner and appellants regarding those rejections, we refer to
the final rejection (Paper No. 7, mailed October 17, 2000), the
examiner's answer (Paper No. 12, mailed March 13, 2001) and to
appellants' brief (Paper No. 11, filed March 5, 2001) and reply
brief (Paper No. 13, filed May 1, 2001) for a full exposition
thereof.
