Appeal No. 2001-0573
Application No. 08/638,245
Peck, we have reviewed the teachings of Peck, but find that
it, like Scales, relates to the use of case preventative or
stop-off paint on surface portions of the bearing structure of
the drill bit and thus provides no response for the teachings
and/or suggestion we have indicated above to be lacking in the
basic combination of Scott and Scales. Accordingly, the
examiner's rejection of dependent claims 3, 4, 7 through 9 and
15 through 17 under
35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Scott in view of
Scales and Peck will likewise not be sustained.
