Appeal No. 1998-2518
Application No. 08/442,835
to use a control head and control means as recited in claim 6.
Merely that the start markers of Lewis could be used for such
a purpose is insufficient. Thus, even if the three references
could be combined, the combination would not yield the claimed
invention. Consequently, we cannot sustain the rejection of
claim 6, nor of its dependents, claims 8 and 10.
CONCLUSION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 6, 8, and
10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
