Appeal No. 1998-0556
Application No. 08/367,418
In light of the foregoing, it is our determination that
the applied references lack a suggestion to modify and a
reasonable expectation of success as required in order to
establish a prima facie case of obviousness within the meaning
of 35 U.S.C. § 103. In re O’Farrell, id. It follows that we
cannot sustain the examiner’s section 103 rejection of
appealed claims 17 through 20 as being unpatentable over Ward
in view of LaPierre.
