Appeal No. 1997-3662
Application No. 07/964,342
In view of the above discussion, it is our view that,
since all of the limitations of the appealed claims are not
taught or suggested by the prior art, the Examiner has not
established a prima facie case of obviousness. Accordingly,
the 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 rejection of independent claims 1, 5, 9, 13, and 18 as
well as claims 2-4, 6-8, 10-12, and 14-17 dependent thereon,
is not sustained. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner
rejecting claims 1-18 is reversed.
