Appeal No. 2001-2074
Application 08/552,143
motivation or suggestion for employing the distal tip on the
catheter that is recessed into the cannula when the device of
Daum is moved into the body.
We have carefully reviewed the Hillstead reference but
we find therein no disclosure which would render distal bevelled
tips on the cannula and catheter of Daum prima facie obvious.
For these reasons, the rejections of claims 1 through 5 and 8
through 18, all claims on appeal, are reversed.
