Appeal 2006-2320
Application 10/061,830
The record shows that the Examiner objects to the Amendment filed
January 11, 2005, as introducing new matter under 35 U.S.C. § 132 (Answer
3). The Examiner identifies the “added material” but does not state where in
said Amendment the same appears (id.). We note that Appellants amended
the paragraph at page 5, ll. 1-10, of the Specification to remove the language
that the Examiner holds objectionable (Amendment filed on January 11,
2005, page 2).
Accordingly, the Examiner is required to identify the location of the
objectionable language either in the Amendment filed January 11, 2005, or
elsewhere in the Specification.
We copy appealed independent claim 8, dependent claim 9, and
independent claim 20 as they appear in the Claims Appendix to the Brief:
8. A fuel cell system, comprising:
a fuel cell stack including at least one anode pair arranged such that
the anodes within the anode pair face one another and define a fuel passage
therebetween that extends from one anode in the pair to the other anode in
the pair; and
fuel supply means for supplying a plurality of droplets to the fuel
passage between the at least one anode pair.
9. A fuel cell system as claimed in claim 8, further comprising:
storage means for storing energy generated with fuel that is on the
anodes when the system is shut down.
20. A fuel supply system for use with a fuel cell including an anode,
comprising:
