Appeal 2007-0941
Application 10/165,068
THE REFERENCES
The Examiner relies upon the following references as evidence of
anticipation and unpatentability:
Gbadegesin US 6,779,035 B1 Aug. 17, 2004
(filed Mar. 6, 2000)
Bommareddy US 6,880,089 B1 Apr. 12, 2005
(filed Mar. 31, 2000)
THE REJECTIONS
The following rejections are on appeal before us:
1. Claims 1, 7-10, 15-17, and 20-22 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as
being anticipated by Gbadegesin.
2. Claims 2-6, 11-14, 18, 19, and 23 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) as being unpatentable over the teachings of Gbadegesin in
view of Bommareddy.
Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or the Examiner, we
make reference to the Brief and the Answer for the respective details thereof.
OPINION
Only those arguments actually made by Appellants have been
considered in this decision. It is our view, after consideration of the record
before us, that the evidence relied upon supports the Examiner’s rejection of
claims 1, 2, 6-10, 14-17, and 19-21, but does not support the Examiner’s
rejection of claims 3-5, 11-13, 18, 22, and 23. Accordingly, we affirm-in-
part.
