REMAND TO THE EXAMINER
The above identified application is hereby remanded to the
Examiner via the Office of the Director for Technology Center 1700
for appropriate action consistent with our comments below.
On page 2 of the answer, the Examiner states that “[t]he
rejection of claims 2, 7, 11, 56, and 75 has been withdrawn.”
Although the Examiner has not specified the statutory basis of
the aforementioned “rejection,” it appears that only the § 103
rejection of the previously listed claims has been withdrawn.
