          Appeal No. 2000-0187                                                        
          Application No. 08/430,943                                                  

          separate computer systems over a wired telephone line, could not            
          come from any suggestion in the prior art but, rather, only from            
          Appellant’s own disclosure.3                                                
               We have also reviewed the disclosures of the Folger and                
          Gaskill references applied by the Examiner to address the                   
          recitations of the housing structure of the wireless transmitters           
          and receivers, respectively, of several dependent claims.  We               
          find nothing, however, in either of these references that would             
          overcome the innate deficiencies of the teachings of the admitted           
          prior art and Carleton discussed supra.  Accordingly, since the             
          Examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness,             
          the rejection of independent claims 1, 9, 17, and 20, as well as            
          claims 2-8, 10-16, 18, 19, and 21 dependent thereon, is not                 
          sustained.                                                                  







               3 Since we find that the Examiner has failed to establish a prima facie
          case of obviousness based on the proposed combination of the admitted prior 
          art and Carleton, the issue of whether Carleton does in fact disclose the   
          generation of graphic primitives using a video driver is moot.              
                                          9
