          Appeal No. 2002-1946                                                        
          Application 08/988,080                                                      
               In view of the foregoing, we conclude that the noted argued            
          feature common to all claims on appeal would not necessarily have           
          been obvious to the artisan within 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As such, the           
          decision of the examiner rejecting all claims on appeal under               
          35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                                
                                      REVERSED
