Appeal No. 1998-2203
Application 08/428,497
in combination with the other disclosures relied upon by the
examiner, would have fairly suggested, to one of ordinary
skill in the art, making a poly(amic acid) paper from a
poly(amic acid) fibrid and then converting the paper to
polyimide paper.
For the above reasons, we conclude that the examiner has
not established a prima facie case of obviousness of the
appellants’ claimed invention over Morgan in view of Vaughan
and FR ‘004. Accordingly, we reverse the rejection over this
combination of references.
DECISION
The rejections of claims 15-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over
Vaughan in view of FR ‘004 and either Sander ‘640 or Sander
‘058, and over Morgan in view of Vaughan and FR ‘004, are
reversed.
REVERSED
