BRISSETTE, JIM HAWKINS, CHRIS KEENEY, CHRISTOS KYRTSOS, JACK DARRIN OATES and TOM SANKO ____________ Appeal No. 2003-1569 Application No. 09/783,466 ____________ ON BRIEF ____________ Before FRANKFORT, STAAB and MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judges. MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judge. DECISION ON APPEAL Patrick Kurzeja et al. originally took this appeal from the final rejection (Paper No. 5) of claims 1, 2 and 5 through 12.1 As the appellants have since canceled claim 12, and amended claims 1, 2 and 8, the appeal now involves claims 1, 2 and 5 through 11, all of the claims currently pending in the application. 1 Through an apparent oversight, the examiner mistakenly rejected canceled claims 3 and 4 in the final rejection.Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
