Appeal No. 95-4209
Application No. 07/862,486
art would have been led to exclude one or two of these
components, together with its or their attendant properties,
as a matter of simplification and/or economics, the
elimination of all four components, along with their
properties, would not have been suggested to one of ordinary
skill in the art. To do so would have destroyed the invention
on which Tsuji is based. See Ex parte Hartman, 186 USPQ 366,
367 (Bd. Pat. App. & Int. 1974). Accordingly, we reverse the
examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1, 2, 4 and 5 under 35
U.S.C. § 103.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
REVERSED
