Appeal No. 98-1458 Page 12
Application No. 08/499,211
claims 18 and 19 dependent thereon, under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)
is reversed.
The obviousness issues
We sustain the rejection of claims 6 through 9 and 25
under 35 U.S.C. § 103, but not the rejection of claims 10, 13,
15, 16, 20 through 24 and 26.
The test for obviousness is what the teachings of the
applied prior art would have suggested to one of ordinary
skill in the art. See In re Young, 927 F.2d 588, 591, 18
USPQ2d 1089, 1091 (Fed. Cir. 1991) and In re Keller, 642 F.2d
413, 425, 208 USPQ 871, 881 (CCPA 1981).
