Application No. 09/324,825
invention was made to a person of ordinary skill in the art to have replaced each of the
cooling means of the four primary references with a phase change cooling system.
Third, the examiner has not even alleged that it would have been obvious at the time
the invention was made to a person of ordinary skill in the art to have provided the
reaction vessel system of the four primary references with a control means as set forth
in claim 21. Thus, the examiner has failed to establish that it would have been obvious
at the time the invention was made to a person of ordinary skill in the art to have
modified any of the four primary references to arrive at the claimed subject matter of
claim 21.
For the reasons set forth above, the decision of the examiner to reject claim 21,
and claims 22 to 34 dependent thereon, under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
