Appeal No. 1998-1081
Application No. 08/462,202
a solid motor body to fluid traveling through passageways
surrounding the interiorly located motor structure. None of
the problems sought to be overcome by Molitor would be
expected to exist in the motor heat exchange system of Bone.
In view of the above, we are left to speculate why the skilled
artisan would employ any of the features of the heat exchanger
of Molitor in the system of Bone. The only reason we can
discern is improper hindsight reconstruction of Appellant's
claimed invention. In order for us to sustain the Examiner’s
rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103, we would need to resort to
speculation or unfounded assumptions or rationales to supply
