The opinion in support of the decision being entered today was not written for publication and is not binding precedent of the Board Paper No. 19 UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE _______________ BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS AND INTERFERENCES _______________ Ex parte RAVISHANKAR KUPPUSWAMY and GREGORY TAYLOR ______________ Appeal No. 2001-1955 Application 08/989,917 _______________ ON BRIEF _______________ Before THOMAS, FLEMING, and DIXON, Administrative Patent Judges. THOMAS, Administrative Patent Judge. DECISION ON APPEAL Appellants have appealed to the Board from the examiner's final rejection of claims 1-10 and 19-30. Claims 11-18 have been canceled. Because the examiner has indicated at page 2 of the answer that rejections from this final rejection under the both first and second paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. § 112 have been withdrawn, claims 1-10 and 19-29 remain on appeal. The examiner's statement at page 2 of the answer that claims 1-10 and 19-28 remain on appeal is incorrect. 1Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
