Appeal No. 2006-3405
Application No. 10/631,858
Claims 1, 4-7, and 8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Nakamura and Fukaya.2
Claim 7 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
Nakamura, Fukaya, and Furukawa.
Claim 9 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
Nakamura, Fukaya, and Yamazaki.
Claim 10 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
Nakamura, Fukaya, Yamazaki, and Kirlin.3
Claims 2 and 3 have been canceled. Claims 11-21 have been withdrawn
from consideration.
2 The Answer (at 3) contends that canceled claims 2 and 3 are also rejected.
3 Yamazaki perhaps has been applied against claim 10 but, contrary to the
indication at page 5 (part 5) of the Answer, the rejection against base claim 1 does
not rely on Yamazaki.
