Paper No. 23 UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE ____________ BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS AND INTERFERENCES ____________ Ex parte JOHN EDWARD PETROVIC ____________ Appeal No. 2004-0946 Application No. 09/965,150 ____________ HEARD: June 10, 2004 ____________ Before FRANKFORT, MCQUADE, and NASE, Administrative Patent Judges. FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge. DECISION ON APPEAL This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's refusal to allow claims 10 through 14 as amended subsequent to the final rejection in a paper filed May 1, 2003 (Paper No. 8). Claims 10 through 14 are the only claims remaining in the application. Claims 1 through 9 and 15 through 18 have been canceled.1 In 1 Although we note that the examiner has approved entry of the above-noted amendment filed May 1, 2003 (see advisory action, Paper No. 9), we observe that such amendment has not as of yet been clerically entered. This oversight should be corrected during any further prosecution of the application before the examiner.Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
