Appeal No. 2003-0771
Application No. 09/031,666
Krynytzky’s disclosure, can be translated into capabilities for a
complex pipeline system of the type utilized by Krynytzky, which
would reasonably appear to have different fluid flow concerns
from fire hoses.
Since we have determined that the teachings and suggestions
found collectively in Krynytzky, Ronan, Williams and Thorton-
Trump would not have made the subject matter as a whole of
independent claims 1, 13 and 17 obvious to one of ordinary skill
in the art at the time of appellants’ invention, we cannot
sustain the examiner’s rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) of
those claims, or claims 2-12, 14-16 and 18-23 that depend
therefrom.
