Decision on appeal
This is a decision on an appeal from the final rejection of
claims 1-19 and 21-25. On pages 3 and 4 of the answer (i.e., Paper
No. 15, mailed March 4, 2004 in response to a remand by this panel
of the Board), the Examiner states that the prior art final
rejection of claims 12-14 is withdrawn whereby these claims are now
objected to but otherwise allowable. We therefore dismiss the
appeal as to claims 12-14 thereby leaving claims 1-11, 15-19 and
21-25 before us on this appeal. These are all of the claims
remaining in the application.
