          Appeal No. 1996-4200                                                        
          Application No. 08/330,341                                                  


          said MOSFETs being of the same channel type" (claims 1 and 4),              
          and "all of said MOSFETs having a bulk terminal connected to                
          said second terminal for the supply voltage (claim 1).                      
               In summary, we are of the opinion that the examiner has                
          fallen victim to the use of impermissible hindsight in                      
          demonstrating the obviousness of the claimed invention.  The                
          obviousness rejection of claims 1 and 4 is, therefore,                      
          reversed.                                                                   
                                      DECISION                                        
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 and 4                  
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                          


















                                          7
