Appeal No. 1999-0162 Application No. 08/414,248 In conclusion, since the Examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claim 26 and claims 27-45 dependent thereon, cannot be sustained. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 26-45 is reversed. REVERSED ERROL A. KRASS ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT JOSEPH F.
