Appeal No. 2004-0046 Page 10
Application No. 10/001,313
Claims 2 to 9 and 11 to 20 which depend from either claim 1 or claim 10 have
not been separately argued by appellant as required in 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(7) and
(8)(iv). Accordingly, we have determined that these claims must be treated as falling
with their respective independent claim. See In re Nielson, 816 F.2d 1567, 1572, 2
USPQ2d 1525, 1528 (Fed. Cir. 1987). Thus, it follows that the decision of the examiner
to reject claims 2 to 9 and 11 to 20 is also affirmed.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 to 20 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
