Appeal No. 2000-0156
Application 08/531,023
or suggests that a quartz reaction tube was known in the prior art
to
be made of transparent quartz glass in the context of the invention
set forth in independent claim 6 on appeal. We agree with
appellant’s observations beginning at page 13 of the brief that
Hiroyuki fails
to teach the use of transparent quartz glass. As such, even if the
properly admitted prior art known and admitted by appellant is
combined with Hiroyuki, there is no teaching or suggestion of a
transparent quartz glass reaction tube as claimed. Therefore,
we must reverse the rejection of the claims on appeal under
35 U.S.C. § 103.
In closing, we have reversed each of the rejections of the
claims on appeal, that under the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112,
that under the second paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112, and that under
35 U.S.C. § 103. Therefore, the decision of the examiner is
reversed.
REVERSED
