Paper No. 21 UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS AND INTERFERENCES Ex parte D. STERLING HUBBELL Appeal No. 2003-1067 Application No. 09/775,662 HEARD: November 5, 2003 Before KIMLIN, OWENS and WARREN, Administrative Patent Judges. KIMLIN, Administrative Patent Judge. REQUEST FOR REHEARING Appellant requests rehearing of our decision of December 8, 2003, wherein we affirmed the examiner's rejection of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103. We have thoroughly reviewed the arguments presented in appellant's request, but we find nothing therein that persuades us that our decision was in error. Appellant maintains that we overlooked the separate arguments for claims 17, 18, 22, 27, 28 and 32. This is not so. -1-Page: 1 2 3 4 5 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
