Appeal No. 96-0393
Application 07/955,258
Patent Application No. Sho 62[1987]-246999 or Japanese Kokai
Patent Application No. Hei 3[1991]-38503.
OPINION
On consideration of the record, we reverse each rejection
under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
First, it is apparent that the statement of rejection set
forth in the Examiner's Answer, page 3, does not comply with
§ 706.02(j) of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (6th ed.,
Rev. 3, July 1997).
Second, we agree with the arguments succinctly stated by
appellants in their Appeal Brief, page 6, last paragraph, through
page 8, second full paragraph.
The examiner's decision is reversed.
