Appeal No. 1999-2327
Application No. 08/168,235
Simply stated, the examiner has not supported the
rejection with appropriate prior art evidence as a basis for a
conclusion that the application of alignment and registration
features to a torque limiting clutch and output shaft assembly
would have been obvious. For that reason alone, the rejection
must be reversed.
In summary, this panel of the board has reversed the
rejection of claims 1, 5 through 13, and 16 through 19 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Heidenreich ‘517 in
view of Heidenreich ‘909, Entrup, and Kohler.
