Appeal No. 1997-3484
Application 08/089,359
Accordingly, the Examiner has failed to provide sufficient
evidence to support a prima facie case of obviousness.
For the reasons stated above, the anticipation and
obviousness rejections of claims 1 and 3-5 are reversed.
The Itoh patent does not cure the deficiencies of Takikawa
with respect to the rejection of claim 1. Accordingly, the
rejection of claim 2 is also reversed.
