Appeal No. 2005-1680 Application No. 10/012,079 problems addressed by Suitor do not appear to be reasonably pertinent to the objective of attaining a uniform metallic plating layer on the surface of a substrate, and the examiner has failed to convince us otherwise. None of the other references relied upon by the examiner cure the deficiency in the examiner's case which we have discussed above. Accordingly, the decision of the examiner is reversed.
