Oba et al. (Oba) 2 59133335 Jan. 22, 1986
(published Japanese Kokai Patent Application)
Claims 20-25 and 27 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Riley in view of Rubin, Gallego and
Takahashi. Claim 26 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Riley in view of Rubin, Gallego and
Takahashi and further in view of Sakamoto, Toshiba and
Wanlass.
OPINION
Upon careful consideration of appellant’s specification
and the claims on appeal, the evidence of obviousness relied
upon by the examiner, and the opposing arguments presented by
appellant and the examiner, we find that the aforementioned §
103 rejections are not well founded. Accordingly, we will not
sustain the examiner’s rejections.
