Appeal No. 2003-1181
Application No. 09/755,575
Given our above-noted determination regarding the
shortcomings of Granryd, and the lack of any further teaching or
suggestion on the examiner's part of an emergency traction
apparatus of the type specifically defined in appellant's claims
on appeal, it follows that the examiner's rejection of dependent
claims 2 and 4 through 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) based on
Granryd alone also will not be sustained.
Since we have refused to sustain either of the rejections
posited by the examiner, the decision of the examiner rejecting
claims 1 through 6, 8 through 10, 13 through 16, 19 and 21 of the
present application is reversed.
