Appeal No. 98-1604 Application 08/354,539 Cf. In re Kuhle, 526 F.2d 553, 555, 188 USPQ 7, 9 (CCPA 1975). Since the examiner has failed to provide a proper factual basis for reaching a conclusion for concluding that the above-noted limitation would have been obvious (see In re Fine, supra), we will not sustain the rejections of claims 16 and 18-40 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The examiner's rejections are all reversed. REVERSED HARRISON E. MCCANDLISH, Senior ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) JAMES M.
