Appeal No. 2002-1686
Application No. 09/188,680
Examiner's rejection of claims 1-13, 15-17, 20-27 and 30-34 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Brinkman in view of
Karras.
Claims 18, 28 and 29 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Brinkman in view of Karras and further in
view of Malloy. We note that claim 18 is dependent on claim 1
and thereby contains all of the limitations recited above. Also,
we note that claim 28 is dependent on claim 27 and claim 29 is
dependent on claim 28 and thereby also includes all the
limitations as discussed in claim 27. We further note that
Malloy does not teach or suggest these limitations. Therefore,
we will not sustain the Examiner's rejection of claims 18, 28 and
29 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
