Appeal No. 2001-1536 Application 08/428,256 Fig. 6, we are not persuaded that Parham suggests such a modification of shape in a monopole antenna as shown in Goubau. However, even if it did, we find no suggestion that the radiating wire should be attached to the short side of the rectangle. Therefore, the rejection of claim 8 over Goubau and Parham is reversed. CONCLUSION The rejection of claims 10, 2, and 3 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over Nishikawa is sustained. The rejection of claims 10, 2, and 3 under § 103(a) over Reggia is reversed. The rejection of claims 10 and 2-4 under § 103(a) over Goubau is sustained. The rejections of claims 4-7 and 9 under § 103(a) over Nishikawa or Reggia or Goubau in view of Shibano are reversed. The rejection of claim 8 under § 103(a) over Nishikawa and Parham is sustained over Nishikawa alone and the rejections of claim 8 under § 103(a) over Reggia or Goubau in view of Parham are reversed. - 16 -Page: Previous 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
