Application No. 09/691,532
entitled to little weight in that it is not supported by persuasive evidence of record in the
application.
Accordingly, the rejection of claim 7 as being unpatentable over Ehrlich in view of
Frehse shall be sustained. The rejection of dependent claim 15 shall also be sustained
since appellant has not argued this claim apart from claim 9.
The rejection of claims 8 and 16, which depend respectively from claims 7 and 15,
likewise shall be sustained because they have not been separately argued apart from the
claims from which they depend.
Summary
The rejection of claims 7 and 15 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, is
reversed.
The rejection of claims 1, 7-9, 15 and 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is affirmed.
Since at least one rejection of each of the appealed claims has been affirmed, the
decision of the examiner finally rejecting the appealed claims is affirmed.
