Appeal No. 1998-1545
Application No. 08/698,169
Accordingly, we see no way that the device of McGirr would be modified by any teaching of
Takeuchi so as to result in the instant claimed subject matter, within the meaning of 35
U.S.C. § 103.
Neither Smith nor Fray, applied for features introduced by dependent claims,
remedies the deficiencies of McGirr and Takeuchi.
Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 1-13, 20-30 and 39-41 under
35 U.S.C. § 103.
The examiner's decision is reversed.
