We REVERSE.
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a livestock feeding
structure. Claims 1 and 4 are representative of the subject
matter on appeal and a copy of claims 1 and 4 is attached to this
decision.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner as evidence of obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are:
