Appeal No. 96-1415
Application No. 08/088,625
Warner, 379 F.2d 1011, 1017, 154 USPQ 173, 178 (CCPA 1967),
cert. denied, 389 U.S. 1057 (1968). Lacking evidence of
obviousness, the rejection will not be sustained.
Rejection (3)
The Gilman ‘001 patent, cited as an additional reference
in this rejection, does not supply the deficiencies noted
above with regard to rejection (1). Therefore, this rejection
is not sustainable.
Rejection (4)
The claims to which this rejection applies, 46, 68 and
69, are dependent on claims 43, 66 and 67, respectively.
Since we have, with regard to rejection (1), not sustained the
rejection of those parent claims on the same references as
applied herein, we likewise will not sustain rejection (4).
Rejections Pursuant to 37 CFR 1.196(b)

Figs. 1 to 3 of the application which issued as Gilman ‘362,
comprising a generally planar contact component 102, 104 with
