Appeal No. 1998-2899
Application No. 08/632,687
cannot be read on the widely spaced grooves 10b or 26 in
Fellows.
In light of the foregoing, we will not sustain the
standing § 103 rejection of independent claim 32 and dependent
claims 33 through 35, 37 and 38.
We have also reviewed the Smith reference applied along
with Fellows and Arkell by the examiner against claim 36, and
the Tittgemeyer, Vrotacoe and Fischer references applied along
with Fellows and Arkell by the examiner against claim 39 on
appeal. However, we find nothing in these additional
references which makes up for the deficiencies of Fellows and
Arkell discussed above regarding claim 32. Accordingly, we
will also not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejections
of dependent claims 36 and 39.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 32 through 39 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
REVERSED
