Appeal No. 1997-2049
Application 08/431,130
incorporating an off-board system like the console 140 of
Boscove therein, as required by the appealed claims, other
than the hindsight provided to one who first views the
appellants’ disclosure. Hindsight reconstruction, however, is
not a proper basis for establishing the obviousness of the
subject matter of claims. See In re Fritch, 972 F.2d 1260,
1266, 23 USPQ2d 1780, 1784 (Fed. Cir. 1992). It follows that
we will not sustain the standing § 103 rejection.
