Appeal No. 1999-1483 Page 8
Application No. 08/732,887
Since neither of the requirements set forth in Valmont has been met by Burrows, the
applied prior art fails to establish a prima facie case of obviousness with regard to the
subject matter recited in claim 1 on the basis of the sixth paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112,
and the rejection of independent claim 1, and all of the dependent claims, also cannot be
sustained on this ground.
CONCLUSION
None of the five rejections is sustained.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
