Appeal No. 2003-1605
Application No. 08/982,934
Appellants’ own disclosure and not from any teaching in the Cole
reference itself.
In conclusion, 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, 11, 15,
21, 27, 31, and 37, nor of claims 2-10, 12-14, 16-20, 22-26, 28-30,
and 32-36 dependent thereon. Therefore, the decision of the
Examiner rejecting claims 1-37 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is
reversed.
