DECISION ON APPEAL
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1, 2,

Claims 36 through 45 and 50 through 57 are allowed, and claims 3,

being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be
allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the
limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
The disclosed invention relates to an electrostatic
discharge protection circuit for an integrated circuit.
