Application No. 08/365,617
Hayden 5,498,889 Mar. 12,
1996
(filed Dec. 12, 1994).
Claims 1-15, 24, and 26-28 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
103 as obvious over Dhong in view of Hayden. Rather than
repeat the arguments of the appellant or examiner in toto, we
refer the reader to the briefs and answer for the respective
details thereof.
OPINION
In deciding this appeal, we considered the subject matter
on appeal and the rejection advanced by the examiner.
Furthermore, we duly considered the arguments and evidence of
the appellant and examiner. After considering the totality of
the record, we are persuaded that the examiner erred in
rejecting claims 1-15, 24, and 26-28. Accordingly, we
reverse.
We begin by noting the following principles from In re
Rijckaert, 9 F.3d 1531, 1532, 28 USPQ2d 1955, 1956 (Fed. Cir.
1993).
