Appeal No. 1997-4277 Application No. 08/290,038 Therefore, the examiner has failed to provide the evidence necessary to support a prima facie case of obviousness within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103. Accordingly, we reverse the rejection of claim 18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over McCune in view of Namikawa. 14Page: Previous 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
