Appeal No. 2005-0868
Application 09/969,728
The examiner argues that “[c]learly the combination of
Muakami [sic] et al and Makaran teach the use of a starter (DC)
motor protection circuit which utilizes a supply voltage
detection to determine an over-temperature condition and either
turn-off the power supply to the motor or control the conduction
time” (answer, page 7). The examiner, however, does not point
out support for that argument in Murakami and Makaran.
For the above reasons we conclude that the examiner has not
carried the burden of establishing a prima facie case of
obviousness of the appellants’ claimed invention.
