Appeal No. 1998-0922 Application No. 08/386,862 Since it is our opinion, for at least the reasons discussed above, that the Examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness, we do not sustain the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claims 5 and 16-18, nor of claims 6 and 8-15 dependent thereon. Accordingly, the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 5, 6, and 8-18 is reversed. REVERSED ) MICHAEL R. FLEMING ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT JOSEPH F.
