Appeal No. 1998-1329 Application 08/642,595 layer cover and a telephone handset cover with a groove projection, respectively, we find nothing in the disclosure of either reference which would overcome the innate deficiencies of Lo discussed, supra. Since all of the claim limitations are not taught or suggested by the applied prior art, it is our opinion that the Examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness with respect to the claims on appeal. Accordingly, we do not sustain the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claims 1 and 21, nor of claims 2 and 4-10 dependent thereon. Therefore, the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1, 2, 4- 10, and 21 is reversed. 10Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
