DECISION ON APPEAL
Appellants have appealed to the Board from the examiner's
final rejection of claims 1-36. Representative claim 1 is
reproduced below:
1 This appeal was scheduled for oral hearing on May 22,
2003. Because the panel assigned to this appeal determined that
all the rejections of the claims on appeal are reversed,
appellants were informed of this determination by telephone by
Administrator Craig Feinberg on Tuesday May 20, 2003. This
action obviated appellants' attendance at the hearing and this
decision confirms this telephone call.
