Appeal No. 2004-0505 Application No. 09/338,812 Examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness with respect to the claims on appeal. Accordingly, we do not sustain the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of appealed independent claims 1, 7, and 13, nor of claims 3-6, 9-12, and 15-24 dependent thereon. Therefore, the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1, 3-7, 9-13, and 15-24 is reversed. REVERSED ERROL A.
