Appeal No. 2003-1954
Application No. 09/296,020
by the examiner. The examiner’s interpretation, as far as it is understood, does not comport with
the requirements of the instant claims.
Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 1, 5, 7 and 8 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102 (e).
Since nothing in the Sieverding reference provides for the deficiencies of Dutton, we also
will not sustain the rejection of claims 6, 12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 23, 25, 26, 30 and 32 under
35 U.S.C. § 103.
The examiner’s decision is reversed.
