Appeal No. 2000-2254
Application No. 08/746,746
[answer, pages 16-17]. Appellant responds that the teaching
relied on by the examiner does not necessarily relate to the
velocity of the user [reply brief, page 2].
We will sustain the examiner’s rejection of claim 8.
Ramsdale teaches that the velocity of a mobile telephone can be a
factor in the quality of the signal in a communication system.
Therefore, we find that it would have been obvious to the artisan
to broadly select between communication systems based on velocity
as recited in claim 8.
We now consider the rejection of claim 12 based on the
teachings of Schellinger, Gillig and Alvesalo. The examiner
cites Alvesalo as teaching that GSM was a known cellular radio
telephone system and that DECT was a known cordless radio
telephone system [answer, pages 6-7]. Appellant argues that
Alvesalo does not disclose or suggest the features of claim 12
[brief, pages 9-10]. The examiner responds that it would have
been obvious for the cellular and cordless telephone systems of
Schellinger to be a GSM and a DECT system as taught by Alvesalo
so that the system could be used in Europe [answer, pages 17-18].
