Appeal No. 2002-1740
Application No. 08/447,398
CONCLUSION
The rejection of claims 47-67 and 70 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph for
lack of enablement to make and use the invention within the scope of the claims is
reversed. The rejection of claims 47-49, 52, 53, 55, 57, 59, 60, 62 and 63 under 35
U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable in view of Pal in light of Borremans, Salata, Wallis,
Zhang, Munk and Verbon is affirmed. It would appear that, in view of the disposition in
this appeal, claims 50-51, 54, 56, 58, 61, 64-67 and 70 are free of rejection.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal
may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
