Appeal No. 97-1144 Application 08/326,608 to receive and retain thereon or therein the stator of a motor. Accordingly, even if the Prodi and Nel references are combined as proposed in the rejection, the claimed invention would not result. As a final note, we point out that a review of the O’Brien patent reveals to us that this reference does not overcome the deficiency of the Prodi and Nel documents. In summary, this panel of the board has reversed the respective rejections of appellants’ claims 7 through 13 and claim 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The decision of the examiner is reversed.
