Appeal No. 1998-1308
Application No. 08/469,397
angles of 60 degrees. At most, Wolf discloses two series of
indentations, which Wolf, for convenience, terms the
longitudinal and transverse series. Since the claim is
specifically directed to three series of indentations, Wolf
does not anticipate or render obvious three series of
indentations. We are constrained to reverse the rejection
based on Wolf under section 102 or 103.
Likewise, the reference disclosure of Brambach and the
admitted prior art cannot ameliorate the difficulties we have
found in the disclosure of Wolf.
Accordingly, the rejections based on a combination of
references are also reversed.
