Appeal No. 2001-0815
Application 08/803,947
12 and 14 through 21 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Martensson in view of Furuno.
Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or the
Examiner, we make reference to the brief and answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
With full consideration being given the subject matter
on appeal, the Examiner’s rejections and the arguments of
Appellants and the Examiner, for the reasons stated infra, we
reverse the Examiner’s rejection of claims 13, 22 and 23 under
35 U.S.C. § 102 and claims 1, 4, 5, 8 through 12 and 14
through 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
We first will address the rejection of claims 13, 22
and 23 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as being anticipated by Furuno.
Appellants argue that the claims are directed to a processor
operable to perform a predetermined function of placing the
handset in the off-hook condition in response to user input of a
predefined actuation signal, wherein the processor is operable to
delay performance of the predetermined function for a period
