Appeal No. 1999-0242 Application 08/643,829 In addition to not disclosing a prosthesis meeting the flat mating surface limitations in claim 28, Sackett would not have suggested same to one of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, we shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claim 29, which depends from claim 28, as being unpatentable over Sackett. The decision of the examiner is reversed.
