Appeal No. 2005-0239
Application No. 10/145,421
NEW REJECTION
Pursuant to 37 CFR § 41.50 (b) (2004), we set forth a new
ground of rejection against claims 1 and 5.
Claims 1 and 5 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
unpatentable over the combined teachings of Choi and Lin. For
the factual findings and conclusions set forth above with respect
to claims 2 and 7 through 17, we determine that the claimed
subject matter here would have been obvious to one of ordinary
skill in the art within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103.
CONCLUSION
In view of the foregoing, we reverse the examiner’s decision
rejecting claims 1 and 5 under Section 102, affirm the examiner’s
decision rejecting claims 2, 3 and 7 through 17 under Section 103
and set forth a new ground of rejection against claims 1 and 5
under Section 103.
Regarding the affirmed rejection(s), 37 CFR § 41.52(a)(1)
provides "[a]ppellants may file a single request for rehearing
within two months from the date of the original decision of the
Board."
In addition to affirming the examiner's rejection(s) of one
or more claims, this decision contains a new ground of rejection
