Appeal No. 2003-1258 6
Application No. 09/745,757
OTHER MATTERS
There appears to be an inconsistency between claims 12 and 13. Claim
12 requires a second seal at a second end. In contrast claim 13 requires a constant area
seal. It appears however, that this seal is located at the first end, not the second end.
Accordingly, the examiner should consider the appropriateness of entering a rejection
under the second paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 on the grounds of indefiniteness and
whether the language of the claimed subject matter complies with the written description
requirement of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. 112.
