Appeal No. 2004-1856 Application No. 09/908,413 explained, Kurachi’s column 3 disclosure concerning a prior art invention is not at all related to the subsequent disclosure concerning his invention. For these reasons, the examiner’s anticipation finding is erroneous. It follows that we cannot sustain the Section 102 rejection of claims 1-4 as being anticipated by Kurachi. The decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED ) BRADLEY R. GARRIS ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT CHARLES F.
