Appeal No. 1998-1716 Page 9
Application No. 08/526,942
orientation wherein the pilasters 126, 128 which are formed at
each side of the planar body 130 are located at the sides of
the vertical mold assembly. Absent the use of impermissible
hindsight, the secondary references would not have suggested
vertically casting Myers' wall section in an orientation
wherein the pilasters 126, 128 are located at the top and
bottom of the vertical mold assembly. All the claims under
appeal require the vertical mold assembly to have a lower
first section and an enlarged top section. It is our
determination that the claimed enlarged top section of the
vertical mold assembly is not suggested by the applied prior
art. Accordingly, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 16, 17 and 21-26 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
