Appeal No. 1999-0855 Application No. 08/730,468 In conclusion, since the Examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claims 17 and 21, and claims 18-20, 22, and 23 dependent thereon, is not sustained. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 17-23 is reversed. REVERSED JOSEPH F. RUGGIERO ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT PARSHOTAM S.
