                     This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of claims 1-7 and 15-21.                     
                     The invention pertains to a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) circuit module.  In                        
              particular, a module having multi-band SAW circuits is provided.  First and second SAW                    
              circuits are located within a shell of a module, wherein each of the SAW circuits is                      
              respectively couplable to first and second terminal sets.  Moreover, the first and second                 
              SAW circuits filter respective first and second signals in respective first and second                    
              bands of communication frequencies.
