Appeal No. 2003-0679 Page 9
Application No. 09/730,163
The obviousness rejection of claims 6 and 7
We will not sustain the rejection of claims 6 and 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over the Admitted Prior Art in view of Welsch as applied to claim 1,
and further in view of Allen.
We have reviewed the reference to Allen additionally applied in the rejection of
claims 6 and 7 (dependent on claim 1) but find nothing therein which makes up for the
deficiency of the Admitted Prior Art and Welsch discussed above regarding claim 1.
Accordingly, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 6 and 7 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 is reversed.
