Appeal No. 2005-0276 Application No. 09/736,941 in electrical communication with a television or video cassette recorder to be controlled, would have suggested this subject matter. Finally, we shall sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of dependent claims 2 through 5, 7, 9 and 10 as being unpatentable over Croy in view of Tiemann since the appellant has not challenged such with any reasonable specificity, thereby allowing these claims to stand or fall with their respective base claims (see In re Nielson, 816 F.2d 1567, 1572, 2 USPQ2d 1525, 1528 (Fed. Cir. 1987)). SUMMARY The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 through 10 is affirmed. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
