Appeal No. 2004-1596
Application No. 09/544,858
CONCLUSION
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner
rejecting claims 1-4, 6-25, 27-46 and 48-63 under 35 U.S.C. § 103
is reversed.
A new rejection of claims 1-4, 6-25, 27-46 and 48-63 under
35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, has been added pursuant to
provisions of 37 CFR § 41.50(b).
The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of 35
U.S.C. § 112:
The specification shall contain a written description
of the invention, and of the manner and process of making
and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms
as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it
pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make
and use the same and shall set forth the best mode
contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention.
Claims 1-4, 6-25, 27-46 and 48-63 are rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, because the specification,
while being enabling for a certain transactions being ignored
(pages 13-15), does not reasonably provide enablement for which
signals particularly represent the first and the second signals
wherein the first signal is ignored by the second device. The
specification does not enable any person skilled in the art to
which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to
make and use the invention commensurate in scope with these
