course, is not a permissible basis for a rejection. In re
Fritch, 972 F.2d 1260, 1266, 23 USPQ2d 1780, 1784 (Fed. Cir.
1992).
For the above reasons, it is our opinion that the
combined teachings of Dillon and Price, and Atlas and Price,
each fail to establish a prima facie case of obviousness with

None of the rejections are sustained.
