Appeal No. 2000-0104
Application No. 08/850,647
reinforces our conclusion that the claimed expression “for
preventing removal of the catalyst member from said coupler”
means that the catalyst member cannot be removed from the
coupler. The claims are therefore not anticipated by Cerola,
since Cerola specifically discloses, as discussed above, that
catalyst member 62 or 90 is easily or readily removable.
Accordingly, the rejection of claims 2 to 8 and 11 will
not be sustained.
Conclusion
The examiner’s decision to reject claims 2 to 8 and 11 is
reversed.
REVERSED
