Appeal No. 1998-2590
Application No. 08/255,083
As for the examiner’s rejection of dependent claims 5
through 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over
Yamamoto, Powers, Shealy and Bahder, we have reviewed the
Bahder patent, but find nothing therein which provides for or
overcomes that which we have found lacking in the examiner’s
basic combination of Yamamoto, Powers and Shealy.
Accordingly, the examiner’s rejection of dependent claims 5
through 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) also will not be sustained.
In light of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner
to reject claims 1 through 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is
reversed.
REVERSED
