Appeal No. 1999-1515 Application No. 08/451,719 In conclusion, since the Examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of all of the appealed claims cannot be sustained. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 18-27 and 30-44 is reversed. REVERSED JERRY SMITH ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT JOSEPH F.
