Appeal No. 1998-2612 Application 08/478,289 a variably controllable amplifier means coupled to the effect-mix variable device for receiving the mixed signal and delivering an amplified output signal to an output terminal. The examiner relies on the following references: Moog 4,180,707 Dec. 25, 1979 The admitted prior art disclosed by appellant. Claims 13, 16 and 17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness the examiner offers the admitted prior art in view of Moog. Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for the respective details thereof. OPINION We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal, the rejection advanced by the examiner and the evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the rejection. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellant’s arguments set forth in the briefs along with the examiner’s rationale in support of the rejection and arguments in rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer. -3-Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
