Appeal No. 95-3834
Application No. 07/947,569
(CCPA 1981) (“the term ‘comprises’ permits the inclusion of
other steps, elements, or materials”).
Conclusion
For the reasons stated above, the rejection of claims 1-
12 as being unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over the
combined teachings of McCready and Cairns is reversed. The
case is remanded to the examiner to consider whether the
teachings of Cairns alone either anticipate or render obvious
the composition of claims 1-8.
