thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given careful consideration to
the appellants' specification and claims, to the reference to Roe, and to the respective
positions articulated by the appellants and the examiner. As a consequence of our
review, we make the determinations which follow.
The indefiniteness rejection
We sustain the rejection of claims 1 to 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph.
In the final rejection (p. 5) and the answer (p. 4), the examiner set forth her
rationale as to why claims 1 to 20 were indefinite.
2 As corrected by the Letter of Clarification (filed September 2, 2003).
