Rejections at Issue
Claims 15, 16 and 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as being
unpatentable over Honda1.
Claims 1, 2, 6, 7, 9 through 12, 14, 21, 23 through 27 and 29 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Honda in view of Sormunen.
1 We note that in the final rejection, claim 17 was rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102. However, claim 17 is
not included in the statement of the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102, on page 4 of the examiner’s answer.
As the examiner also rejected claim 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103, we assume that the examiner withdrew the
rejection of claim 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 102, see Ex Parte Emm 118 USPQ 180, 181 (BdPatApp&Int,
1958).
