Appeal No. 1997-1503 Page 5
Application No. 08/422,649
Claim 18 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious
over Jenkins. Claims 1 and 22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as obvious over Lind in view of Jenkins. Claims 2, 9,
10, 23-26, and 28 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
obvious over Lind in view of Jenkins further in view of
Tatsuta. Rather than repeat the arguments of the appellants
or examiner in toto, we refer the reader to the brief and 2
answer for the respective details thereof.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we considered
the subject matter on appeal and the rejections advanced by
the examiner. Furthermore, we duly considered the arguments
and evidence from the appellants and examiner. After
considering the totality of the record, we are persuaded that
the examiner erred in rejecting claims 1, 2, 9, 10, and 18-28.
Accordingly, we reverse.
2The reply brief filed on September 30, 1996 was denied
