Appeal No. 1997-0858 Application No. 08/323,065 derived from the applied prior art. W.L. Gore & Associates Inc. v. Garlock, Inc. 721 F.2d 1540, 1553, 220 USPQ 303, 312- 313. Under the foregoing circumstances, we cannot sustain the examiner's § 103 rejection of claims 1, 5, 8 and 12 through 14 as being unpatentable over Harada in view of Wang and DeLozanne. Moreover, since the deficiency of this rejection is shared by the rejections of dependent claims 3 and 4, these dependent claims rejections also cannot be sustained. The decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED JOHN D. SMITH ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT BRADLEY R.
