Appeal 2007-1099
Application 09/955,469
Because we have reversed the Examiner’s rejection of each
independent claim, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of any
dependent claims under appeal. Therefore, we reverse the Examiner’s
rejection of dependent claims 2-5, 9-16, 18-20, 24-29, and 31-34 as being
unpatentable over Bruck in view of Brendel. Likewise, we reverse the
Examiner’s rejection of dependent claims 6-8, 21-23, and 36-40 as being
unpatentable over Bruck in view of Brendel, and further in view of
Bowman-Amuah.
DECISION
In summary, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of any
claims under appeal. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting
claims 1-40 is reversed.
