C. REJECTION
Claims 1-9 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as anticipated by
U.S. Patent No. 6,205,482 B1 ("Navarre").
II. CLAIM GROUPING
"When multiple claims subject to the same ground of rejection are
argued as a group by appellant, the Board may select a single claim from the
group of claims that are argued together to decide the appeal with respect to
the group of claims as to the ground of rejection on the basis of the selected
claim alone. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, the
failure of appellant to separately argue claims which appellant has grouped
together shall constitute a waiver of any argument that the Board must
consider the patentability of any grouped claim separately." 37 C.F.R.
§ 41.37(c)(1)(vii) (2005).1

time of the Appeal Brief. The current version includes the same rules.
