Appeal 2007-1941 Application 10/363,159 1 CONCLUSION 2 The rejection of Claims 1-27, 30, 32 and 33 is affirmed.3 AFFIRMED VW cc (via First Class Mail): Attorney for Appellant: Sue Z. Sharper, PC 1800 West Loop South Suite 1450 Houston TX 77027 3 We note that rejected Claims 30, 32 and 33 are multi-dependent claims which depend from both allowed and rejected claims. Whether those claims may be amended to limit the dependencies to allowable claims is not a matter before us. We also note applicant’s statement at page 8 of the Brief that Claims 6, 11, 17 and 22 would be allowable if rewritten without the contested limitation. We express no view on that statement. Whether claims can be amended after an appeal is a matter to be decided by the Office of the Commissioner of Patents. - 9 -Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
