Appeal No. 1999-2716
Application 08/561,178
identified all the differences between the claimed invention
and the Feature Guide, and since he has not, therefore,
addressed the obviousness of these differences, we find that
the examiner has not properly established a prima facie case
of obviousness. Accordingly, we do not sustain the examiner’s
rejection of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 2-9,
11-18 and 20-22 is reversed.
