Appeal No. 2004-2103 Page 2
Application No. 10/026,033
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a system and method for proportioning
braking between front and rear wheels (specification, p. 1). A copy of the claims under
appeal is set forth in the appendix to the appellant's brief.
Claims 2 and 6 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by
U.S. Patent No. 6,027,1821 to Nakanishi et al. (Nakanishi).
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and
the appellant regarding the above-noted rejection, we make reference to the answer
(Paper No. 11, mailed April 15, 2004) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support
of the rejection, and to the brief (Paper No. 10, filed February 17, 2004) for the
appellant's arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given careful consideration to
the appellant's specification and claims, to the applied patent to Nakanishi, and to the
1 Issued February 22, 2000.
