Appeal No. 2000-0558 Page 11
Application No. 08/912,585
Thus, it is our opinion that the combined teachings of
applicant's admitted prior art and Hakanson fairly teaches or
suggests a data cartridge comprising a metallic base plate
having an electrically conductive film connected to an
electrical ground integral with the feeding mechanism as
recited in claim 8 on appeal. Accordingly, we sustain the
examiner's rejection of claim 8 on appeal.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 2, 3 and 7 and 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed, and
the decision of the examiner to reject claim 8 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 is affirmed.
