Appeal No. 1998-3035
Application No. 08/580,036
Accordingly, since the Examiner has not established a prima
facie case of obviousness, the rejection of independent claims
6 and 20-24 is not sustained.
In summary, with respect to the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. §
112, first paragraph, rejection, we have sustained the
rejection of claims 1-24, but have not sustained the rejection
of claims 25 and 26. We have also not sustained the
Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) rejection of claims 6 and 20-24. Therefore, the
decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-26 is affirmed-in-
part.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
