Appeal No. 97-2963 Page 9
Application No. 08/284,728
We agree. We see no teaching, suggestion or motivation in the
applied prior art (i.e., Lippert alone and in combination with
Roessler) to arrive at the claimed invention absent use of
impermissible hindsight. Accordingly, the decision of the examiner
to reject independent claim 1 and dependent claims 2 to 13, 15 to
19 and 21 to 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
