Appeal No. 2002-1545 Page 18
Application No. 08/949,757
Claims 1-6 and 39 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being
obvious over the combination of Aluyi or Pritchard or Moreau or Wessman as
combined with Blake or Dick or Naso.
Again, Aluyi and Pritchard and Moreau and Wessman are relied upon as
above, and Blake and Dick and Naso are relied upon for teaching the
conjugation of an antigen to a carrier. Thus, again Blake and Dick and Naso fail
to remedy the deficiencies of Aluyi and Pritchard and Moreau and Wessman,
and the rejection is reversed.
Claims 31, 32 and 42 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being
obvious over the combination of Aluyi or Pritchard or Moreau or Wessman or
Kitada as combined with Blake and Hawke and Foster.
Aluyi, Pritchard, Moreau, Wessman, Kitada and Blake are relied upon as
set forth above. As Hawke and Foster are relied upon labeling an antigen and
for immobilization of an antigen on a solid matrix, they fail to remedy the
deficiencies of Aluyi, Pritchard, Moreau, Wessman, Kitada and Blake, and the
rejection is reversed.
