Appeal No. 2006-0845 6 Application No. 10/113,524 In light of the foregoing, we agree with appellant that the examiner has failed to meet his burden of establishing a prima facie case of obviousness. For that reason, we refuse to sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). Accordingly, the decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED CHARLES E.
