Appeal No. 2000-1984
Application No. 08/565,775
We have reviewed our decision in view of appellants' request
for rehearing. As a result of that review, we have granted
appellants' request with respect to reconsideration, and we have
granted appellants' request with regard to reversing ourselves
regarding the rejection of claims 11-16 under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first paragraph. However, we deny appellants' request with
respect to making any other changes in our decision.
Accordingly, our decision of June 18, 2002 is amended to
sustain the rejection of claims 1-10 and 21-23 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, first paragraph, to sustain the rejection of claims 1-3
and 5-10 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) over Schweizerhof, to not
sustain the rejection of claims 11-16 under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first paragraph, to not sustain the rejection of claims 1-3 and
5-10 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) over Kosha, Lindner, Grader or
Richardson, to not sustain the rejection of claim 4 or claim 23
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b), to not sustain the rejection of claims
1-16 and 21-23 under 35 U.S.C. §102(b) over Astle and to not
sustain the rejection of claims 5, 7-9 and 15 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, second paragraph.
Accordingly, the examiner’s decision is now denoted as being
affirmed-in-part.
