Appeal No. 97-2720 Page 19
Application No. 08/354,387
variable speed sheet transport system as taught by Paxon
downstream of DuBois's main feed roller 25 may have been
obvious to an artisan, the claimed subject matter of claims 11
and 12 does not read on such a modification since it would not
result in a variable speed drive for feeding sheets from the
feedhead (i.e., DuBois' separator 13) to the sheet delivery
area.
For the reasons set forth above, the decision of the
examiner to reject claims 11 and 12 under 35 U.S.C. 103 is
reversed.
