1213.02: New Grounds for Rejection:
the Board can make a rejection on new grounds for any claim it wants to.
(even if the claim was not previously rejected). Remember, this is different
than the examiner who can only reject a claim on new grounds if he had already
rejected the same claim for different reasons (an examiner it not allowed to find
a new ground to reject a claim he previously put into allowance).
