Appeal No. 1999-0937 Application No. 08/646,530 teaching, and was not applied by the examiner for that purpose.3 Since the evidence does not support a conclusion of obviousness, the rejection of claim 14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 cannot be sustained. As expressed above, we have not sustained the rejections of independent claims 1 and 14. It follows that we do not sustain the respective rejections of the claims dependent therefrom. In summary, this panel of the board has not sustained any of the rejections on appeal. 3 The same can be said for the Morford patent, also relied upon by the examiner. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
