Appeal No. 1998-1719 Application No. 08/442,603 On the record presented, the examiner failed to meet her burden of establishing a prima facie case of obviousness within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103. Having determined that the examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness, we find it unnecessary to discuss the Barsomian Declaration executed June 10, 1992, relied on by appellants to rebut any such prima facie case. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
