Appeal No. 2002-2327 Application No. 09/142,549 In summary, since we are of the opinion that the prior art applied by the Examiner does not support the obviousness rejection, we do not sustain the rejection of independent claims 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, nor of claims 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 11 dependent thereon. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed. REVERSED ) JERRY SMITH ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT JOSEPH F.
