Appeal No. 1998-2114
Application No. 08/491,286
(brief, page 21) that “the side location of appellants’
opening constitutes more than a ‘mere shifting location of
parts’ as asserted by the Examiner” since “this side location
allows the observation window and the user interface surface
to be located in the same area.” According to appellants
(brief, page 21) this “represents a substantial improvement
over the design of the Christie et al. device.” Appellants
conclude (brief, pages 21 and 22) that the examiner has failed
to establish a prima facie case of obviousness with respect to
claim 1.
