Appeal No. 2005-2621
Application No. 08/968,756
The prior art references of record relied upon by the examiner in rejecting the
appealed claims are:
Jervis 5,190,546 Mar. 2, 1993
Horzewski 5,873,865 Feb. 23, 1999
THE REJECTION
Claims 35 to 43 and 46 to 59 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Horzewski in view of Jervis.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and
the appellant regarding the above-noted rejections, we make reference to the answer
(mailed June 29, 2004) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the
rejections, and to the brief (filed March 26, 2004) and reply brief (filed August 30, 2004)
for the appellant's arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given careful consideration to
the appellant's specification and claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellant and the examiner. As a consequence
of our review, we make the determinations which follow.
