Appeal No. 1998-1609
Application No. 08/589022
impermissible hindsight would have enabled one to seek out the
Atwater shorts to effect the combination now proposed. Thus,
based upon the evidence of obviousness before us, the
rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 cannot be sustained.
In summary, this panel of the board has reversed the
rejection of claims 1 through 15 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Larsen in view of Atwater.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
