Appeal No. 2006-1049
Application No. 09/667,826
Applicants also proceeded to re-write application claim 33 by (1) canceling
claims 29-32, and (2) combining the limitations of allowable dependent claim 33
with rejected claims 29-32. Amended application claim 33 issued as patent
claim 27.
Applicants further proceeded to re-write application claim 37 by (1)
canceling claims 29-31, and (2) combining the limitations of allowable dependent
claim 37 with rejected claims 29-31. Amended application claim 37 issued as
patent claim 35.
The Examiner makes four points in Findings of Fact 82 and 83:
(1) the reissue claims 40, 41, 42, 43, 52, and 58 are broader than the patent
claims with respect to the “parallel connected” limitation;
(2) the Examiner’s reasons for allowance in the original application shows
that the “parallel connected” limitation was surrendered;
(3) the reissue claim 53 is broader than the patent claims with respect to the
“capacitors” limitation; and
(4) the “capacitors” limitation was surrendered as shown by the Examiner’s
reasons for allowance and because it was present in original
application claim 32.
