Appeal No. 2006-1193 3
Application No. 09/961,036
The following rejections are on appeal before us:
1. Claims 17, 19, 21, 23, and 25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) as being unpatentable over Agarwala in view of Yi [answer, page
3].
2. Claim 18 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being
unpatentable over Agarwala in view of Yi, and further in view of the
Tummala Handbook [answer, page 4].
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the examiner, we
make reference to the brief and the answer for the respective details
thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal, the
rejections advanced by the examiner and the evidence of obviousness relied
upon by the examiner as support for the rejections. We have, likewise,
reviewed and taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the
appellants’ arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner’s
rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth in
the examiner’s answer.
