          Appeal No. 2001-0372                                                         
          Application 08/928,242                                                       


          the findings are deemed to support the agency’s conclusion.”                 
          In re Lee, 277 F.3d 1338, 1344, 61 USPQ2d 1430, 1434 (Fed. Cir.              
          2002).                                                                       
               Upon our review of Gallivan, we fail to find that the                   
          Gallivan bars 37 encoded onto ball lens 36 can be fairly read on             
          Appellant’s claimed bar code target.  Therefore, we will not                 
          sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claims 11, 13 and 18 through             
          20.                                                                          
               In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner                  
          rejecting claims 1 through 3, 9, 10, 12 and 17 under 35 U.S.C.               
          § 103 is affirmed; however, the decision of the Examiner                     
          rejecting claims 11, 13 and 18 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103              
          is reversed.                                                                 















                                           8
