          Appeal No. 96-1928                                                          
          Application 07/504,679                                                      


          approach is not sufficient within 35 U.S.C. § 103.  However,                
          we                                                                          





          remain unconvinced from the collective teachings and                        
          suggestions of Heckel and Vincent as well as the examiner's                 
          reasoning that                                                              
          it would have been obvious within 35 U.S.C. § 103 to have so                
          modified Vincent's teachings and suggestions in light of                    
          Heckel.                                                                     
          We do not agree with the examiner's basic view that the                     
          artisan would have reasonably, prospectively viewed the                     
          combination of teachings and suggestions of Vincent and Heckel              
          in such a manner as to render obvious the subject matter of                 
          the claims stated in the initial rejection on appeal.  In a                 
          similar manner, we remain unconvinced of the obviousness of                 
          combining the additional teachings of LisaList to these two                 
          references to reject the claims identified by the examiner in               
          the second rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                 


                                          10
