Appeal No. 2005-0118
Application 10/094,413
copy of that claim can be found in the Appendix to appellant’s
brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the claims on appeal are:
Hudson 4,221,269 Sept. 9, 1980
Rauch 6,065,372 May 23, 2000
Claims 1 and 2 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over Rauch in view of Hudson.
Rather than attempt to reiterate the examiner's commentary
with regard to the above-noted § 103 rejection and the
conflicting viewpoints advanced by appellant and the examiner
regarding that rejection, we make reference to the examiner's
answer (mailed June 15, 2004) for the reasoning in support of the
rejection, and to appellant’s brief (filed March 9, 2004) and
reply brief (filed August 20, 2004) for the arguments
thereagainst.
