Appeal No. 2001-1350
Application No. 09/188,766
combination of the APA and Isaji. Thus, it is clear that the
examiner has not set forth a prima facie case of obviousness with
respect to dependent claim 4, and the rejection of that claim
under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) will not be sustained.
In view of the foregoing, the examiner's decision rejecting
claims 1 through 9 of the present patent application under
35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
