Appeal No. 1999-1454 Page 16
Application No. 08/596,343
Accordingly, we conclude that the examiner has failed to
establish a prima facie case of obviousness of claim 2.
Therefore, the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claim 2 and
dependent claims 9 and 11-14 is reversed.
We turn next to the rejection of claims 10 and 15 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over the admitted prior art
taken together with Hosen, Lin, and further in view of
Karabatsos, we find that Karabatsos shows a cross-shaped pin
structure, but does not overcome the deficiencies of the
admitted prior art, Hosen and Lin, as discussed, supra.
Accordingly, the rejection of claims 10 and 15 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 is reversed.
