Application No. 10/775653
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a trailer brake and remote control system for
automotive use (specification, p. 1). A copy of the claims under appeal is set forth in the
appendix to the appellant's brief.
The prior art
The prior art references of record relied upon by the examiner in rejecting the
appealed claims are:
Pyle 4,653,770 Mar. 31, 1987
Admitted Prior art on page 4 of specification (APA)
The rejections
Claims 1, 4, 7, 10 and 11 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being
anticipated by Pyle.
Claims 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 12 to 14 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Pyle and Applicant's admitted prior art on page 4 of the
specification.
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 November 10, 2005) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the
rejections, and to the brief (filed August 3, 2005) for the appellant's arguments
thereagainst.
