          Appeal No. 2000-2163                                       Page 7           
          Application No. 08/922,521                                                  


          § 103 is, of course, impermissible.  See, for example, W. L.                
          Gore and Assocs., Inc. v. Garlock, Inc., 721 F.2d 1540, 1553,               
          220 USPQ 303, 312-13 (Fed. Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 469 U.S.               
          851 (1984).  It follows that we cannot sustain the examiner's               
          rejections of claims 1 to 6.
