Before KIMLIN, PAWLIKOWSKI and MOORE, Administrative Patent Judges.
MOORE, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. ' 134 from the final
rejection of claims 1-8. Claims 9-13 stand withdrawn as directed to
non-elected subject matter. Thus, only claims 1-8 are before us on
this appeal.
REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM
The appellant has indicated (Brief, page 3) that the claims
will stand or fall together. Accordingly, all the claims will
stand or fall together, and we select claim 1, the broadest
independent claim as representative of all of the claims on appeal.
