Appeal No. 2006-2626
Application No. 10/315,175
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-12, 14-19, and
21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed. In addition, under the provisions of 37
CFR § 41.50(b), we enter a new ground of rejection of independent claims 1, 8, 15
and 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Keffer in view of
Hickson. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this
appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
REVERSED; 37 CFR § 41.50(B).
