Appeal No. 2006-1589
Application No. 10/082,912
Group II, claims 2-4, 6-8, and 10-12
We next consider Group II consisting of dependent claims 2-4, 6-8, and 10-12. We note
that appellants have presented these claims under a separate heading, but have failed to argue the
limitations of each dependent claim separately from the independent claims in Group I. Because
we have sustained the examiner’s rejection of the independent claims in Group I, we will
likewise sustain the examiner’s rejection of the dependent claims for the same reasons discussed
supra with respect to the claims in Group I.
In summary, we have sustained the examiner’s rejection of all claims under appeal.
Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-12 is affirmed.
