sheet has been turned over again, is subjected to first form printing on the
pre-treated upper side thereof.
Thus, Wirz does not teach cleaning one side, printing that side, turning the paper over,
cleaning the second side, and then printing the second side since Wirz does not teach
any cleaning of the underside of the sheet.
Since Wirz does not teach cleaning one side, printing that side, turning the
paper over, cleaning the second side, and then printing the second side, a prima facie
case of obviousness has not been established with respect to claims 6 to 8.
Accordingly, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 6 to 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103
is reversed.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 to 5 and 9 to 12
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed and the decision of the examiner to reject claims 6 to
8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
