DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner’s final rejection of claims 14-33, all
of the pending claims in appellant’s involved application. The examiner has indicated in
his answer that the rejection of claims 20-22 and 27 is withdrawn, and that those claims
would be allowable if rewritten in independent form. Accordingly, we shall review the
examiner’s final rejection only as it relates to claims 14-19, 23-26 and 28-33.
The appealed claims are directed to a process for producing a cladding or coating
on a surface of a turbine blade. The coating includes ceramic particles which project
above the coating layer.
