Appeal No. 1998-2672 Application No. 07/955,768 Accordingly, since the Examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claims 1, 9, 17, 20, 21, and 24, and claims 2, 3, 8, 10-12, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, and 26 dependent thereon, cannot be sustained.
