Appeal No. 1997-3157
Application No. 08/286,224
the outstanding grounds for rejection are based on
hindsight. . . .
In conclusion, the applied references of record
are not seen as providing teachings which singly or
in combination negate patentability of the claimed
magnetic head device recited in claims 1-6.
We agree with appellants’ arguments. The examiner’s
contentions to the contrary notwithstanding, the applied
references neither teach nor would have suggested the claimed
mathematical relationship. Thus, the 35 U.S.C. § 103
rejections of claims 1 through 6 are reversed because the
examiner has failed to present a prima facie case of
obviousness.
