Appeal No. 97-3707 Application 08/595,910 Thus, the examiner’s conclusion that the differences between the subject matter recited in claims 9 through 12 and the applied 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 is not well founded. Accordingly, we shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejections of these claims. The decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED ) IAN A.
