Accordingly, we shall focus exclusively upon claims 1, 14, and 15, infra. OPINION In reaching our conclusion on the obviousness issues raised in this appeal, this panel of the board has carefully considered appellant's specification and claims, the applied references, and the respective viewpoints of appellants and2 the examiner. As a consequence of our review, we make the determinations which follow. 2In our evaluation of the applied documents, we have considered all of the disclosure of each reference for what it would have fairly taught one of ordinary skill in the art. See In re Boe, 355 F.2d 961, 965, 148 USPQ 507, 510 (CCPA 1966). Additionally, this panel of the board has taken into account not only the specific teachings, but also the inferences which one skilled in the art would reasonably have been expected to draw from the disclosure. See In re Preda, 401 F.2d 825, 826, 159 USPQ 342, 344 (CCPA 1968). 4Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
