Appeal No. 2001-2035
Application No. 09/071,806
required by the instant claims, it cannot be a proper reference
for anticipating the instant claimed invention under 35 U.S.C.
102(b) or for finding the claimed subject matter obvious under
35 U.S.C. 103.
Although the instant claimed subject matter has a very broad
scope, we cannot sustain either the rejection of claims 1-7 and
10-12 under 35 U.S.C. 102(b) or the rejection of claims 2-6, 8,
9, 13, 14 and 16 under 35 U.S.C. 103, based on the reference to
Bakhoum.
The examiner’s decision is reversed.
