Appeal No. 2002-2321
Application 09/283,268
We will not sustain this rejection of the examiner because
the examiner failed to establish a prima facie case of
obviousness. Cochran is deficient for the reasons discussed
above. The additional teachings of Kamakura do not overcome the
deficiencies of Cochran. Therefore, the examiner’s rejection
which relies on Cochran does not establish a prima facie case of
obviousness for the reasons discussed above.
In summary, we have not sustained either of the rejections
made by the examiner. Therefore, the decision of the examiner
rejecting claims 1, 2, 5-8, 11, 12, 15-18, and 21 is reversed.
