          Appeal No. 2003-2074                                                        
          Application No. 09/095,325                                                  

          and drawing provide support for the claimed “continuously                   
          forwarding” feature.                                                        
               Thus, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 33-55, 64,           
          66-103, and 106-108 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph.                 
               Accordingly, the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 33-114           
          under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as relying on an                    
          inadequate written description is reversed.                                 
               With no rejections left outstanding in this case, the                  
          examiner may wish to take up appellants’ request regarding an               
          interference, as the examiner notes at page 6 of Paper No. 25
