Appeal No. 2005-1132
Application No. 09/738,294
The examiner relies on the following references:
Lane 5,437,009 July 25, 1995
Tang et al. (Tang) 5,793,365 Aug. 11, 1998
Klein et al. (Klein) 5,995,492 Nov. 30, 1999
Claims 1-23 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). As
evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Tang in view of Klein
with respect to claims 1-22, and the examiner adds Lane with
respect to claim 23.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the
examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the evidence
of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the
rejections. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into
consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’
arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner’s
rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in rebuttal
set forth in the examiner’s answer.
