Appeal No. 2001-1606
Application 08/582,661
We agree with appellant that the portion of Richter
relied on by the examiner does not support the examiner’s finding
that Richter teaches the steps of claim 21. Therefore, we do not
sustain the examiner’s rejection of independent claim 21 or of
claims 23 and 24 which depend therefrom.
In summary, we have not sustained the examiner’s
rejection with respect to any of the claims on appeal.
Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 3-21
and 23-25 is reversed.
