         Appeal No. 1999-2077                                    Page 7          
         Application No. 08/589,251                                              


         1, lines 28-30), the broad teaching by Lemelson of “any                 
         suitable metal” is insufficient in this instance to teach or

         claims would have been obvious within the meaning of 35 U.S.C.          
         § 103(a).
