Appeal No. 1999-2590
Application 08/618,120
suggests a plurality of module block LED arrays. Moreover, we
find no teaching in the admitted prior art or in Hobbins that
would lead one of ordinary skill in the art to combine the
admitted prior art and Hobbins.
Further, our analysis of the Shetty reference reveals
that Shetty also does not teach or suggest the required claim
limitation of “a plurality of module block LED arrays.”
Shetty was used to reject claim 5 and teaches that welding
processes of a metal mesh includes ultrasonic bonding (Shetty,
col. 1, lines 44-52). However, Shetty alone, or in
combination with Hobbins and the admitted prior art, does not
satisfy all the required limitations of claim 5.
Therefore, based on the foregoing, we conclude that the
Examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of
unpatentability under 35 U.S.C. § 103 with respect to claims
1-8.
