Appeal No. 2003-0192
Application No. 08/871,300
Since we have determined that the teachings and suggestions
which would have been fairly derived from the APA and Goetz '379
would not have made the subject matter as a whole of claims 20
through 22 on appeal obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art
at the time of appellant's invention, we must refuse to sustain
the examiner's rejection of those claims under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a).
In light of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner to
reject claims 20 through 22 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
