The two issues are as follows: (1) whether Dunfield’s claims 1, 2, 9, and 11 from its parent application (08/438,091) are to the same or substantially the same subject matter as Dunfield’s involved claims 40 and 41; and (2) whether a decision on the remaining preliminary motions is necessary if it is determined that Dunfield’s claims 40 and 41 are barred under 35 U.S.C. § 135(b). - 3 -Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
