Appeal No. 1998-2849 Page 14
Application No. 08/584,158
We agree with the appellant's argument (brief, p. 23)
that Wright does not teach or suggest the claimed subject
matter set forth in claims 38, 40 and 42 through 61.
Specifically, it is our opinion that steps (b), (d) and (e) of
independent claim 35, steps (b), (d), (e) and (f) of
independent claim 49, and steps (b), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of
independent claim 59 would not have been obvious to one of
ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention was made
from Wright's disclosure.
For the reasons stated above, the decision of the
examiner to reject claims 38, 40 and 42 through 61 under 35
U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
