UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE _________________ BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS AND INTERFERENCES _________________ Ex parte GERARD JAY BELLASALMA, JOON TAEK KIM, and LLOYD RAMSEY _________________ Appeal No. 2005-1262 Application No. 09/864,809 _________________ ON BRIEF _________________ Before FRANKFORT, MCQUADE, and NASE, Administrative Patent Judges. Per curiam DECISION ON APPEAL Gerard Jay Bellasalma et al. originally took this appeal from the final rejection (mailed March 18, 2003) of claims 1 through 22 and 26 through 31. Since then, the appellants have canceled claims 13 and 15, and the examiner has withdrawn all rejections of claims 11, 22, 27 and 29 which currently stand objected to as depending from rejected claims. Hence, the appeal now involves claims 1 through 10, 12, 14, 16 through 21, 26, 28, 30 and 31. 1Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
