              Appeal No. 2001-1609                                                                Page 7                
              Application No. 09/031,778                                                                                


              The obviousness rejections                                                                                

                     We will not sustain the rejection of claims 11 to 13, 15 to 18, 20 and 21 under 35                 
              U.S.C. § 103.                                                                                             


              Claims 20 and 21                                                                                          

                     The decision of the examiner to reject dependent claims 20 and 21 under 35 U.S.C.                  
              § 103 is reversed since the examiner has not asserted that the above-noted limitations of                 
              parent claim 18 would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a person                    
              of ordinary skill in the art.                                                                             


              Claims 11 to 13 and 15 to 18                                                                              

                     Claim 11 reads as follows:                                                                         
                            A mobile workstation comprising:                                                            
                            (a) work surface having a top surface for carrying electrical equipment and a               
                     bottom surface;                                                                                    
                            (b) a pedestal for supporting said work surface;                                            
                            (c) means housed in said pedestal for adjusting the height of said work                     
                     surface; and                                                                                       
                            (d) a power supply for supplying power to the electrical equipment attached                 
                     to the bottom surface, the power supply providing a counterbalance for                             
                     counterbalancing weight of the electrical equipment as the height of said work                     
                     surface is adjusted.
