          Appeal No. 2005-1577                                                        
          Application No. 09/581,159                                Page 12           

          to claim 6 would result. Thus, we shall reverse the examiner’s              
          separate rejection of claim 6.                                              
               Regarding claims 10 and 20, the examiner additionally                  
          applies Goerenz in a separate § 103(a) rejection.  However, the             
          examiner has not established how Goerenz makes up for the above-            
          noted deficiencies.  Accordingly, we shall likewise reverse the             
          examiner’s § 103(a) rejection of claims 10 and 20.                          
               Concerning product claims 11-17, the examiner relies on a              
          combination of Winter and Tweadey as suggesting the claimed                 
          subject matter for reasons as discussed in the separate rejection           
          of method claim 1.  See page 9 of the answer.  As explained                 
          above, however, the examiner has not fairly established how the             
          disparate teachings of Tweadey would have suggested that one of             
          ordinary skill in the art should modify the antenna containing              
          window structure of Winter in a manner so as to result in the               
          claimed glazing structure, including a transparent surface                  
          coating arranged as recited in claim 11 with a protective layer.            
          Consequently, we shall reverse the examiner’s § 103(a) rejection            
          of claims 11-17, on this record.                                            
               Concerning claims 21 and 22, the examiner relies on a                  
          combination of the teachings of Winter, Shukuri and Marquardt.
