Appeal No. 2003-0897 Page 4
Application No. 09/640,796
The Rejection
In rejecting the appealed claims, the examiner does not rely on any prior art
references. Claims 1 through 5 and 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, as based on a specification, as filed, which does not provide adequate,
written descriptive support for the invention now claimed.
Deliberations
Our deliberations in this matter have included evaluation and review of the
following materials: (1) the instant specification, including Figures 1, 2, and 3, and all of
the claims on appeal; (2) applicants' Appeal Brief (Paper No. 17); and (3) the
Examiner's Answer (Paper No. 18).
