Appeal No. 2003-0239 Application 09/382,437 In light of the foregoing, it is our determination that the examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness, and for that reason we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 1 and 9 through 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 and 9 through 12 of the present application under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a), accordingly, is reversed. REVERSED CHARLES E.
