Appeal No. 2003-2102 Page 10 Application No. 09/254,723 From all of the above, we find that the examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness of claim 1. Accordingly, the rejection of claim 1, and claims 2 and 3, dependent therefrom, is therefore reversed. CONCLUSION To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-3 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed. REVERSED JOHN C.
