Appellant’s new arguments do not respond to a new point raised by the Examiner’s Answer, and as such, are untimely and deemed waived. See Ex parte Borden, 93 USPQ2d 1473 (informative) (BPAI 2010); accord MPEP § 2675 (“It is essential that the [BPAI] should be provided with a brief fully stating the position of the appellant . . . . The fact that appellant may consider a ground or determination to be clearly improper does not justify a failure on the part of the appellant to point out to the Board the argument, i.e., reasons, for that view.”); 37 CFR § 41.71 (b)(1) (“The rebuttal brief of the owner may be directed to the examiner’s answer and/or any respondent brief.”).
