Paper No. 22
UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS
AND INTERFERENCES
Ex parte HIROTOSHI ISE
Appeal No. 2004-0630
Application No. 09/755,177
ON BRIEF
Before GARRIS, OWENS and DELMENDO, Administrative Patent Judges.
GARRIS, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal which involves claims 7-12.1
The other claims pending in the application, which are claims 1-6
1 On page 2 of the Brief, the appellant states that "[a]n
Amendment is filed concurrently with this Appeal Brief to correct
a typographical error in claim 11 to correct dependency." The
file record for this application does not contain the afore-
mentioned amendment. However, this circumstance need not delay
or otherwise impede our disposition of the subject appeal since
the issues before us as framed by the appellant and the examiner
are unaffected by the dependency of claim 11. Nevertheless, in
any further prosecution that may occur, the appellant and the
examiner may wish to address and resolve the circumstance
involving this amendment.
