Appeal No. 1998-1821
Application No. 08/584,606
that the examiner’s § 103 rejection is not well founded. For
the reasons well articulated by appellants at pages 6-9 of the
Brief, we determine that not only is there no suggestion to
combine the teachings of the applied prior art as proposed by
the examiner, but the combination teachings of the applied
prior art also do not result in the claimed process. Thus, we
conclude that the examiner has not established a prima facie
case of obviousness regarding the claimed subject matter.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner is
reversed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
