Appeal No. 97-2473 Page 14
Application No. 08/264,582
For the foregoing reasons, the examiner failed to show
that Barnes, Chang, and Ewert teach or would have suggested
the first and second data ports of independent claims 68, 74,
and 82. Therefore, we find the examiner’s rejection does not
amount to a prima facie case of obviousness. Because the
examiner has not established a prima facie case, the rejection
of claims 68, 69, 72-77, and 80-83 over Barnes in view of
Chang or Ewert is improper. Therefore, we reverse the
rejection of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
