Appeal No. 2003-0780 Application No. 08/642,962 After a careful assessment of a) the teachings to be derived from LYSOL, b) the declarations submitted by Mr. Lloyd Luthringer and Mr. Kirk Brewer (Paper Nos. 20 and 21), and c) the arguments presented by appellant in the brief and reply brief (Paper Nos. 23 and 25), we find ourselves in agreement with appellant's position that the methods of claims 1 through 11 on appeal would not have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of appellant's invention based on the teachings of LYSOL, and, therefore, refuse to sustain the § 103 rejection on appeal. 66Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
