          Appeal No. 2001-0421                                                        
          Application 08/926,835                                                      


          statutory responsibility under 35 U.S.C. § 6 by reviewing the               
          examiner’s prior art rejections of the claims on appeal.  In the            
          forum of this dissenting opinion, it would be inappropriate for             
          me to express an advisory opinion concerning the merits of these            
          prior art rejections.  Therefore, I will defer expressing my view           
          on these matters until such time as the majority members of this            
          or an expanded panel are willing or required to review the                  
          examiner’s prior art rejections of the appellants’ long-pending             
          claims.
