BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS
AND INTERFERENCES
_______________
Ex parte BRIAN M. MATTSON
_______________
Appeal No. 2005-0121
Application No. 10/074,154
_______________
ON BRIEF
_______________
Before FRANKFORT, MCQUADE, and NASE, Administrative Patent Judge.
MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
Brian M. Mattson originally took this appeal from the final rejection of claims 1 through
7, all of the claims pending in the application. As the examiner has since withdrawn the only
rejection of claim 2, the appeal as to this claim is hereby dismissed, leaving for review the
standing rejections of claims 1 and 3 through 7. Presumably, claim 2 now stands objected to as
depending from a rejected base claim.
