The examiner relies on the following references: Merakos et al. (Merakos) 5,521,925 May 28, 1996 Dent et al. (Dent) 5,896,375 Apr. 20, 1999 (filed July 23, 1996) Claims 1-18 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). As evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Merakos in view of Dent. Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for the respective details thereof. OPINION We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal, the rejection advanced by the examiner and the evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the rejection. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’ arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner’s rationale in support of the rejection and arguments in rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer. -3-Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
