Appeal No. 98-0130 Page 13
Application No. 08/631,793
the power supply regulator of Snow into mechanically separable
components.
In summary, we find no suggestion or teaching in the
prior art references to Snow or Gillett that would lead one of
ordinary skill in the art to the claimed invention.
Accordingly, the rejection of claim 1 is reversed.
With regard to claims 12, 15 and 42, which are all of the
other independent claims in the application, we find that
these claims have similar language to claim 1. Accordingly,
the rejection of claims 12, 15 and 42 is reversed. As claims
2-10 depend from claim 1, and claims 16, 17 and 19-24 depend
from claim 15, the rejection of claims 2-10, 16, 17 and 19-24
is also reversed.
SUMMARY
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 1, 2, 4-12, 15-17, 19-24 and 42 under 35 U.S.C. § 103
is reversed.
REVERSED
