          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.
