Outcome
Set aside

Headnote

The second examination report's objections were met by converting a storage medium claim to a method claim and deleting another. The application was refused for claims not being in sequential order and for disregarding what was said at the hearing. Procedural lapses in numbering do not justify rejection; the applicant could have been asked to fix them.
