Appeal No. 2000-0605 Application No. 08/803,779 We note appellant's reference on page 13 of the brief to the Spencer declaration (Paper No. 7) filed December 11, 1998. However, as we have determined, supra, that, with regard to both rejection (1) and rejection (2), the applied references are not sufficient to establish a prima facie case of obviousness of the claimed subject matter, it is not necessary for us to discuss the Spencer declaration herein. CONCLUSION To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 2, 7-10 and 13-17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed. REVERSED JOHN P.
