Appeal No. 2002-0021
Application No. 09/417,439
Absent the disclosure of the present application, it is our opinion that one of
ordinary skill in the art would not have been motivated to modify the valve of Brehm in
the particular manner urged by the examiner so as to arrive at the subject matter set
forth in appellant’s claims 1 through 7 on appeal. Thus, we will not sustain the
examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 7 as being unpatentable over Brehm in view of
Bosch GmbH.
In accordance with the foregoing, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1
through 7 of the present application under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
REVERSED
