Appeal No. 96-2040
Application No. 08/221,370
We base our decision on the examiner’s rejection and
rationale therefor, as well as on appellants’ arguments
thereagainst. While we make no warranty, one way or the
other, that no proper rejection of the instant claims and/or
any individual claim might be made by applying the Mizutori
reference in some way different from that of the examiner, it
is clear to us, for the reasons supra, that the examiner has
simply failed to establish a case of prima facie obviousness.
Accordingly, the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 18
through 20 and 72 through 102 under 35 U.S.C. 103 is reversed.
REVERSED
