Appeal No. 1999-1748
Application 08/846,285
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has relied upon the
documents listed below:
Dahn et al 3,669,022 Jun. 13, 1972
(Dahn)
Lee et al H464 May 3, 1988
(Lee)(Statutory Invention Registration)
The following rejection is the sole rejection before us on
appeal.1
Claims 1 through 5, 7 through 13, 19 through 22, 24 through
29, and 35 through 38 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over Lee in view of Dahn.
The examiner’s rejection and response to the argument
presented by appellants appears in the final rejection and the
answer (Paper Nos. 9 and 14), while appellants’ argument on
appeal can be found in the main brief having appendices A, B, C,
and D (Paper No. 13) and the reply brief filed May 19, 1999.
1 Each of the other three rejections found in sections 7
through 9 of the final rejection (Paper No. 9) have been
expressly withdrawn by the examiner (answer, page 9).
