Appeal No. 1996-1224 Application 08/292,184 Based on the above, we agree with appellant that the examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness for the subject matter defined by the appealed claims. Accordingly, we cannot sustain the stated rejection of the appealed claims for obviousness. The decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED JOHN D.
