Appeal No. 2000-0722
Application No. 08/646,399
Koizumi does not teach or suggest the relationship as claimed. Furthermore, appellant
argues that the expansible member of Koizumi is beneath the second portion and
therefore, there is no teaching of having a portion of the downstream ink channel having a

U.S.C. § 103.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-4, 6, 10, 14-16 and 20-32
stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, is reversed, the decision of the
examiner to reject claims 1, 10, 14, 15, 22-24, 26, 27, and 30-32 under
