             Appeal No. 2002-1063                                                          Page 9              
             Application No. 09/306,552                                                                        


             13, which includes the same limitations.  The rejection of independent claim 13, and              
             dependent claim 14, is not sustained.                                                             
                   Claim 15 depends from claim 1, and adds the requirement that the outside of the             
             bottles be disinfected by oxonia.  Poole has been applied, along with Gies and Olsson,            
             for teaching sterilizing the outside of food containers, and Sizer for using oxonia for           
             sterilizing food containers.  However, these references do not alleviate the problems we          
             found with the combination of Gies and Olsson, and thus we will not sustain the                   
             rejection of claim 15.                                                                            









                                                CONCLUSION                                                     
                   None of the rejections are sustained.                                                       
                   The decision of the examiner is reversed.                                                   
                                                 REVERSED
