Appeal No. 1998-0402 Application No. 08/490,046 not a proper basis for a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103. See In re Fritch, 972 F.2d 1260, 1266, 23 USPQ2d 1780, 1784 (Fed. Cir. 1992). The conclusion follows that the combined teachings of Sturm and Kunnecke fail to establish a prima facie case of obviousness with regard to the subject matter recited in claim 1. This being the case, we will not sustain the rejection of claim 1 or, it follows, of claims 2-5, which are dependent therefrom. 10Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
