Appeal No. 2000-2194 Application No. 08/705,843 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of independent claims 1 and 5, as well as claims 2-4 and 13 dependent thereon, is not sustained. In summary, we have not sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, rejection of claims 6-12, 14, and 15, nor the 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claims 1-5 and 13. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-15 is reversed. REVERSED MICHAEL R. FLEMING ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT JOSEPH F.
