Appeal No. 2001-0843
Application No. 08/945,415
In view of the above discussion, it is our opinion that
the Examiner has not established a prima facie case of
obviousness. Accordingly, the rejection of independent
claims 1 and 3, as well as claims 2, 4-7 and 14-18 dependent
thereon, is not sustained.
In summary, we have not sustained the Examiner’s
35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of any of the claims on appeal.
Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims
1-7 and 14-18 is reversed.
