Appeal No. 96-2476 Application 07/890,785 (Figure 1). The teachings of this reference thus do not establish a prima facie case of obviousness with regard to the subject matter of independent claim 14 or, it follows, of any of the claims dependent therefrom. Nor is this deficiency alleviated by considering Stein, which was cited by the examiner for its teaching of utilizing a nose wheel mounted at the forward end of the skate. The rejections are not sustained, and the decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED ) JAMES M. MEISTER ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT NEAL E.
