          Application No. 09/753,703                                                  

          electromagnetic radiation.  See In re Robertson, 169 F.3d 743,              
          745, 49 USPQ2d 1949, 1950-51 (Fed. Cir. 1999).                              
               For the foregoing reasons and those stated in the Brief and            
          Reply Brief, we determine that the examiner has not established a           
          prima facie case of anticipation in view of Akram.  Accordingly,            
          we cannot sustain the rejection on appeal.  The decision of the             
          examiner is reversed.
