THE REJECTIONS
Claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 12-20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102(e) as being anticipated by Helfman.
Claims 3, 6, and 9-11 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being
unpatentable over the teachings of Helfman in view of Sylvan.
Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or the Examiner, we
make reference to the Briefs and the Answer for the respective details
thereof.
Claims 1, 7, 8, and 12-20
We consider first the Examiner’s rejection of claims 1, 7, 8, and 12-20
as being anticipated by Helfman. Since Appellants’ arguments with respect
to this rejection have treated these claims as a single group which stand or
fall together, we will select independent claim 14 as the representative claim
3
