Appeal No. 1997-1834 Page 9
Application No. 08/267,527
We conclude that the Examiner has established a prima facie case of obviousness with respect
to the subject matter of claims 1-4 and 6-8 which has not been sufficiently rebutted by Appellants.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-8 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, is reversed, but the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-4 and 6-8 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 is affirmed. Accordingly, we affirm-in-part.
