Appeal No. 1997-1299
Application 08/393,746
thermoplastic polyamide rather than in a polyphenylene ether,
the network structure would be comparable to the network
structures shown in figures 3 and 4 of EP ‘280 and, therefore,
would provide the partial encapsulation relied upon by the
examiner.
Accordingly, we conclude that the examiner has not
carried the burden of establishing a prima facie case of
obviousness of the invention recited in any of appellants’
claims.
DECISION
The rejection of claims 2, 3 and 9-13 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 over EP ‘280 in view of Epstein ‘859 and Epstein ‘358 is
reversed.
REVERSED
