OPINION
With full consideration being given to the subject matter on
appeal, Examiner's rejections and the arguments of Appellants and
Examiner, for the reasons stated infra, we reverse the
Examiner's rejection of claims 1-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
1
1 We note that claim 19 is dependent upon claims 17 and 15.
Claim 19 should have been rejected or grouped with claim 17.
However, the Examiner addressed claim 19 in the rejection of
claims 15 and 20 as seen on page 6 of the answer. Therefore, we
will group claim 19 with claims 15 and 20.
