35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Hasegawa in view of Takahashi.
Claims 41-45, 49-53, 57-63, 65-72, 74, 76-79, and 81-85 stand
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Hasegawa in
view of Takahashi further in view of Yoshizawa or Soohoo.
Rather than repeat the arguments of the appellants or examiner
in toto, we refer the reader to the briefs and answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we considered
the subject matter on appeal and the rejection advanced by
the examiner. Furthermore, we duly considered the arguments
and evidence of the appellants and examiner. After
considering the totality of the record, we are persuaded that
the examiner erred in rejecting claims 40-63 and 65-85.
Accordingly, we reverse.
We begin by noting the following principles from In re
Rijckaert, 9 F.3d 1531, 1532, 28 USPQ2d 1955, 1956 (Fed. Cir.
1993).
