Appeal No. 2001-0592 Application 09/110,824 Since we have determined that the teachings and suggestions which would have been fairly derived from Cherrington and Trinkle would not have made the subject matter as a whole of claim 1 on appeal obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of appellant’s invention, we must refuse to sustain the examiner’s rejection of that claim under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). It follows that the examiner's rejection of dependent claims 2 through 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) based on Cherrington and Trinkle will also not be sustained. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
