Appeal 2007-0153
Application 09/792,918
CONCLUSION
On the record before us, we find that the Examiner fails to make a
prima facie case that Pachauri anticipates claims 1 and 24, and thus, the
35 U.S.C. § 102 rejection of claims 1, 2, 5, 11, 13-15, 17-20, 24, 25, 27, 28,
and 30-32 cannot be sustained. The 35 U.S.C. § 102 rejection of claims 35,
37, 38, 40, and 41 over Pachauri is sustained.
We also sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 36 and 39
over Pachauri, but will not sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claim 4
over Pachauri and Bienvenu, of claims 3, 7-10, 12, 21, 26, and 29 over
Pachauri and Wood, and of claims 22, 23, 42 over Pachauri and Lewis.
DECISION
The decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1, 2, 5, 11, 13-15, 17-
20, 24, 25, 27, 28, and 30-32 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and rejecting claims 3,
4, 7-10, 12, 21-23, 26, 29, and 42 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed. The
rejection of claims 35, 37, 38, 40, and 41 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and
rejecting claims 36 and 39 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
