Appeal No. 2002-1488
Application No. 09/463,695
In light of the foregoing, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 11
and 17-20 as being unpatentable over Allen in view of Knapp.
Concerning the rejection of claims 12-16, we have reviewed the Nagai and
Nelms references additionally relied upon by the examiner in rejecting these claims but
find nothing therein that makes up for the deficiencies of Allen and Knapp discussed
above. Therefore, we also will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of these claims.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
