          Appeal No. 1998-1931                                                        
          Application No. 08/395,411                                                  


          the selection of the type of wheel disclosed by Fowlkes for                 
          use with a roller skier like that of Goodwin comes not from                 
          the applied teachings themselves but from inappropriate                     
          reliance upon appellant’s own teaching.  It is for this reason              
          that the respective rejections of appellant’s claims must be                
          reversed.  Our review of the patents to Peters and Hill                     
          reveals to us that they do not overcome the deficiency of the               
          other applied art already discussed.                                        


               In summary, this panel of the board has reversed each of               
          the rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                       


               The decision of the examiner is reversed.                              


                                      REVERSED
