Appeal No. 1997-4380
Application No. 08/147,878
Therefore, on this record, we are constrained to reach the conclusion that the
examiner has failed to provide the evidence necessary to support a prima facie
case of obviousness. Accordingly, we reverse the rejection of claims 1, 2, 15-17
and 34 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Bielinska in view of
Iademarco. We reverse the rejection of claims 1, 5, 15 and 16 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Bielinska in view of Degitz. We
reverse the rejection of claims 1, 8, 15 and 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Bielinska in view of Montgomery.
This application, by virtue of its “special” status, requires an immediate
action. MPEP § 708.01(D) (7th ed., rev. 1, February 2000). It is important that the
Board be informed promptly of any action affecting the appeal in this case.
