Appeal No. 1997-2245 Page 15
Application No. 08/402,872
As Golden only teaches the use of flux-gate sensors for
measuring static magnetic field strength, and does not teach
or suggest a flux-gate compass, we find that the flux-gate
sensors of Golden do not suggest the claimed flux-gate compass
of claims 2-4, 6, 7, 9-11, 13, and 14. Accordingly, the
rejection of claims 2-4, 6, 7, 9-11, 13, and 14 under 35
U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 1-14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
