Application No. 08/530,006
appellants' evidence of nonobviousness (i.e., the May 14, 1996
declaration of Irfan Raza), suffice it to say I have reviewed

reference evidence of obviousness. Accordingly, at the very
least, the standing § 103 rejection of claim 1 based on
Crandall, Hynds and Schlechtendahl should be affirmed.4

4It should not be inferred from my focus on the rejection
of claim 1 based on Crandall, Hynds and Schlechtendahl that I
necessarily agree with the majority that the remainder of the
examiner’s rejections of the appealed claims should be
reversed.
