Appeal No. 1998-2907
Application No. 08/471,748
Roylance actually discloses covers, and forms them of glass,
it is unclear why one of ordinary skill in the art faced with
Greiff's metal layers in the bridge electrode, would use caps
or covers of metal. Thus, the examiner again has failed to
establish a prima facie case of obviousness, and we cannot
sustain the rejection of claims 25, 26, and 37.
CONCLUSION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through
22 and 24 through 41 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
