Appeal No. 1999-2701
Application No. 08/650,850
disclosure of Ziperovich coincides with that of Appellants, i.e.,
while clock signals may influence the spacing of the tribit
signals, such does not transform the tribit pattern data signals
into clock signals, let alone provide any disclosure of the
specific clock signal processing set forth in Appellants’ claims.
For the above reasons, it is our opinion that, since all of
the claimed limitations are not disclosed by Ziperovich, the
Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) rejection of independent claims 15
and 32, as well as claims 16, 17, 33, and 34 dependent thereon,
cannot be sustained. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner
rejecting claims 15-17 and 32-34 is reversed.
