Appeal No. 96-0456
Application No. 08/072,654
deficiencies in the factual basis for a Section 103 rejection.
GPAC at 1581, 35 USPQ2d at 1123.
We have carefully reviewed the other cited and applied
prior art and we find therein no disclosure which would
provide a factual basis or remedy the defects in this Section
103 rejection.
In summary, we are reversing the rejections of all claims
on appeal for the reason that Burdick is non-analogous art and
cannot be properly considered pertinent prior art for a
Section 103 rejection. Even if Burdick could be considered
pertinent prior art under Section 103, the examiner's findings
with respect to Burdick are not supported by the reference
itself.
The rejections of the claims on appeal are reversed.
