Appeal No. 2001-2338 Application 08/996,360 Geraci, we have reviewed the patents to both Lofty and Coates, but find nothing therein which would provide for, or otherwise render obvious, that which we have found above to be lacking in the examiner’s asserted combination of Zapf and Geraci. Thus, the examiner’s rejection of dependent claims 27 and 32 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Zapf, Geraci and Lofty, and the examiner’s rejection of claims 33 through 38 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Zapf in view of Coates and Geraci, will also not be sustained. 11Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
