Appeal No. 2000-0565
Application No. 08/539,840
Carroll are such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the invention
was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art.
It follows then that we shall also not sustain the examiner's rejection of claims 2-10 and 12-18
as being unpatentable over Carroll.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 and 11 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102(b) and claims 2-10 and 12-18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
