Appeal No. 1996-4073
Application No. 08/345,917
teaching that would lead one to combine the references in the
manner proposed by the Examiner, we will not sustain the
rejection of claim 31 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Likewise we will
not sustain the rejection of dependent claims 32 and 33 since
they contain the same unmet claim limitations.
We note that Fujisawa teaches the remaining claim
limitations in figure 2 where light emitting diode 21 and
photo detector diode 22 are mounted on two coplanar areas of
lead frame 25. A light flux coupling material 23 is provided
and a protective enclosure 24 is formed around the components.
We have not sustained the rejection of claims 31
through 33 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Accordingly, the Examiner's
decision is reversed.
REVERSED
