Appeal No. 2001-2101 Application No. 09/111,495 In view of the above discussion, since the Examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of independent claims 1, 14, and 20, as well as claims 2-6, 8-13, 15-19, and 21-24 dependent thereon, is not sustained. In summary, we have not sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of any of the claims on appeal. Accordingly, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-6 and 8-24 is reversed.
