Appeal No. 1999-1792
Application No. 08/879,477
Rather than repeat the positions and the arguments of
Appellant and the Examiner, we make reference to the briefs1
and the answer for their respective positions.
OPINION
We have considered the rejections advanced by the
Examiner.
We have, likewise reviewed Appellant's arguments against the
rejections as set forth in the briefs.
It is our view, after consideration of the record before
us, that the rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are not proper.
Accordingly, we reverse.
At the outset, we note that Appellant has elected all
the claims to stand or fall together, see brief at page 7.
ANALYSIS
In our analysis, we are guided by the general proposition
that in an appeal involving a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103,
1A reply brief was filed as Paper No. 19 and was
considered by the Examiner without any further response, see
Paper No. 21.
