            Appeal No. 2004-0609                                                               5              
            Application No. 09/900,787                                                                        


            programming the chart recorder by correlating the position of the marking pen 108 relative        
            to the chart recorder paper 102 during the selection of an optional set point.                    
                   Thus, the anticipation rejection of claim 1 is sustained because Levine teaches all of     
            the method steps of this claim.  The anticipation rejection of claims 2 through 8 is              
            sustained because appellant has chosen to let these claims stand or fall with claim 1 (brief,     
            page 3).                                                                                          
                   The anticipation rejection of claim 11 is sustained because the “printed parameters”       
            in Levine are the two set points 124 and 126.  The anticipation rejection of claims 12            
            through 14 is sustained because appellant has chosen to let these claims stand or fall with       
            claim 11 (brief, page 3).                                                                         
                   The obviousness rejection of claims 10 and 16 is sustained because appellant has           
            not presented any patentability arguments for these claims.                                       
                                                   DECISION                                                   
                   The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 8 and 11 through 14 under          
            35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed, and the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 10 and 16       
            under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is affirmed.
