Appeal No. 1996-1864
Application No. 08/330,349
promoting amount of an epoxy compound in view of Valsecchi.
We find no guidance in Valsecchi to optimize the amount of an
epoxy compound employed for the purpose of improving or
promoting adhesion.
On this record, we determine that the applied prior art
references as a whole would not have rendered the claimed
subject matter prima facie obvious within the meaning of 35
U.S.C. § 103. Accordingly, we reverse the examiner’s decision
rejecting the appealed claims 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
