Appeal No. 2004-0653 Application No. 09/872,053 We have also reviewed the patents to Dague and Wu applied by the examiner against certain of the dependent claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). However, we find nothing in these references that alters our view of the examiner's basic combination of Furay and Baxter as stated above. Thus, the examiner's rejection of dependent claims 2, 21 and 29 through 33 as being unpatentable over Furay in view of Baxter and further in view of Dague; claims 19, 20 and 28 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Furay in view of Baxter as applied above, and further in view of Wu; and claim 34 as being unpatentable over Furay in view of Baxter and Dague as applied above, and further in view of Wu, are also not sustained. 88Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
