Appeal No. 1996-1792 Page 7
Application No. 08/220,244
In our view, the examiner's stated rejections fall
significantly short of presenting a prima facie case of
obviousness for the reasons set forth above.
Since we find that the examiner has not established a
prima facie case of obviousness, we need not reach the issue of
the sufficiency of the showing of the secondary evidence
furnished by appellants. See In re Geiger, 815 F.2d 686, 688,
2 USPQ2d 1276, 1278 (Fed. Cir. 1987).
Accordingly, we will not sustain the examiner's § 103
rejections.
