Appeal No. 2005-1742 Page 7
Application No. 09/436,171
CONCLUSION
Because the examiner has failed to set forth a prima facie case of
obviousness, the rejection of claims 1, 3-5, 7-9 and 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
as being obvious over the combination of Schreiber and Dupuis, and the
rejection of claim 4 stands under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being obvious over the
combination of Schreiber and Dupuis as further combined with Yoneyama, are
reversed.
