Appeal No. 1997-3960 Application 08/249,700 proposed by the examiner comes from appellant’s own specification. Since the applied prior art and the examiner’s analysis do not establish a prima facie case of the obviousness of the claimed invention, we do not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 12 and 14 based on Motoyama and Suzuki. Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 12 and 14 is reversed. REVERSED Jerry Smith Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) Lee E.
