Appeal No. 1997-3141 Application No. 08/327,347 In conclusion, it is our opinion that the Examiner’s line of reasoning does not establish a prima facie case of motivation and, therefore, the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 1-5, 10, 11, and 13-18 is not sustained. Accordingly, the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1- 5, 10, 11, and 13-18 is reversed. REVERSED ) ERROL A. KRASS ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT MICHAEL R.
