              Appeal 2007-0457                                                                       
              Application 10/652,267                                                                 
                                      CONCLUSION OF LAW                                              
              On the record before us, Appellants have shown that the Examiner                       
              has failed to establish that Boucher anticipates the claimed invention under           
              35 U.S.C. § 102(e).  Further, Appellants have shown that the Examiner has              
              failed to establish that one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the           
              present invention, would have concluded that Boucher renders the claimed               
              invention unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).                                       

                                             DECISION                                                
              We reverse the Examiner’s decision to reject claims 1 through 5 and 7                  
              through 33 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Boucher.  We               
              also reverse the Examiner’s decision to reject claim 6 under 35 U.S.C.                 
              § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Boucher.                                           

                                            REVERSED
