Appeal No. 2004-0616 Application 09/692,982 For the reasons set forth above, we find that the examiner has not made out a prima facie case of obviousness, and for that reason we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 1, 4 through 6, 8 through 11, 14 through 16 and 18 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Reinke. Since we have not sustained any of the exami- ner’s rejections on appeal, it follows that the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 4 through 6, 8 through 11, 14 through 16 and 18 through 20 of the present application under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
