Appeal No. 96-2162
Application No. 08/265,561
electrically conductive contact with each other, as required
by the instant claims.
While, in our view, the examiner has presented a prima
facie case of obviousness, the evidence presented by
appellant, in the form of declarations, successfully rebuts
the prima facie case. Accordingly, the examiner’s decision
rejecting claims 4, 6, 7 and 9 through 14 under 35 U.S.C. 103
is reversed.
