Opinion
We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal, the rejections
advanced by the examiner and the evidence of obviousness relied upon by the
examiner as support for the rejections. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken
into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellant’s arguments set forth
in the brief1 along with the examiner’s rationale in support of the rejections and
arguments in rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer.
With full consideration being given to the subject matter on appeal, the
examiner’s rejections and the arguments of appellant and examiner, for the
reasons stated infra, we reverse the examiner’s rejection of claims 10, 11, 12, 14
and 15 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
1This decision is based upon the Appeal Brief received May 8, 2002(Certified as being
mailed on April 26, 2002 in accordance with 37 C.F.R. §1.8(a)).
