Paper No. 16
UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
__________
BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS
AND INTERFERENCES
__________
Ex parte ROGER FRANET
and LARRY NEIL SMITH
__________
Appeal No. 2003-0707
Application 09/690,534
___________
ON BRIEF
___________
Before STAAB, MCQUADE, and BAHR, Administrative Patent Judges.
MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
Roger Franet et al. originally took this appeal from the
final rejection of claims 1 through 5 and 9 through 12. As the
examiner has since withdrawn the rejection of claim 12, the
appeal as to this claim is hereby dismissed, leaving for review
the standing rejections of claims 1 through 5 and 9 through 11.
Claim 12 presumably now stands objected to, along with claims 6
through 8, the only other claims pending in the application, as
depending from a rejected base claim.
