Appeal No. 1998-1796 Application No. 08/408,154 In view of the above discussion, it is our view that, since all of the limitations of the appealed claims are not taught or suggested by the prior art, the Examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness. Accordingly, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claims 1 and 2, as well as claims 3-21 dependent thereon, cannot be sustained. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-21 is reversed. REVERSED MICHAEL R. FLEMING ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT JOSEPH F.
