Appeal No. 2006-3034 Page 9
Application No. 09/855,115
independent claim, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of any of the
dependent claims under appeal. Therefore, we will reverse the examiner’s
rejection of dependent claims 2-5 and 7-10 as being anticipated by Dieterich
and we will also reverse the examiner’s rejection of dependent claims 5 and
11-14 as being unpatentable over Dieterich in view of Kato.
In summary, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of any of the
claims under appeal. Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting
claims 1-14 is reversed.
REVERSED.
