DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the final
rejection of claims 1-40.1 We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 6.
1 As correctly pointed out by the Examiner (Answer 2), the Appellant’s
discussion in the Brief of objections to the Specification and certain claims
relates to a petitionable rather than appealable matter. See Manual of
Patenting Examining Procedure (MPEP) § 1201 (8th ed., Rev. 3, Aug.
2005). Accordingly, this matter will not be addressed in the opinion which
follows.
