Appeal No. 2002-1380 Application No. 08/786,270 Page 16 We turn next to the rejection of claims 58 and 74 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over Thomas in view of Mischler and Fisher. We reverse the rejection of claims 58 and 74 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) because Mischler and Fisher do not make up for the basic deficiencies of Thomas. CONCLUSION To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-13, 15-27, 49-53, 59-61, and 66-73 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is reversed. The decision of the examiner to reject claims 14, 28, 58, and 74-76 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.Page: Previous 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
