Appeal No. 97-2243
Application 08/222,584
Thus, the references applied by the examiner do not provide
the factual basis necessary to support a conclusion that the
differences between the subject matter recited in claims 1 and 7,
and in claims 2 through 4 which depend from claim 1, and the
prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have
been obvious at the time the invention was made to a person
having ordinary skill in the art. Accordingly, we cannot sustain
the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejections of these claims.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
