Appeal No. 1999-1789 Application No. 08/920,652 Accordingly, since we are of the opinion that the prior art applied by the Examiner does not support the obviousness rejection, we do not sustain the rejection of independent claims 15, 20, and 21, nor of claims 16-19 dependent thereon. Therefore, the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 15-21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed. REVERSED JERRY SMITH ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT JOSEPH F.
