Appeal No. 1998-1175
Application No. 08/374,462
against its teacher. W.L. Gore & Assocs. v. Garlock, Inc.,
721 F.2d 1540, 1553, 220 USPQ 303, 312-313 (Fed. Cir. 1983),
cert. denied, 469 U.S. 851 (1984).
For the above stated reasons, we cannot sustain the
examiner’s section 103 rejection of claims 1, 2, 6-18 and 21-
23 as being unpatentable over Quinn ‘114 in view of Van Wijk,
Jansen and Quinn ‘456. The corresponding rejection of claims
3-5, 19 and 20 over these references and further in view of
Quinn ‘298 also cannot be sustained particularly since this
last mentioned reference does not supply the deficiencies
discussed previously.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
