Appeal No. 1999-2605 Application No. 08/788,669 In conclusion, since the Examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claims 1 and 7, as well as claims 2-6, 8-11, 17, and 18 dependent thereon, is not sustained. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-11, 17, and 18 is reversed. REVERSED MICHAEL R. FLEMING ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT JOSEPH F.
