Appeal No. 2001-2654 Page 2
Application No. 09/069,192
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to an industrial robot
having convection cooled frequency converters (title). A copy
of the claim under appeal is set forth in the opinion section
below.
The prior art of record relied upon by the examiner in
rejecting the appealed claim is:
Gorman 4,552,505 Nov. 12,
1985
The appellants' admission of prior art (Figure 1;
specification, page 2, line 19 to page 4, line 5) relating to
a drive system for an industrial robot (Admitted Prior Art).
Claim 1 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over the Admitted Prior Art in view of Gorman.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellants regarding the above-noted
rejection, we make reference to the final rejection (Paper No.
7, mailed November 3, 1999) and the answer (Paper No. 11,
mailed August 1, 2000) for the examiner's complete reasoning
