Appeal No. 2006-2833 Application No. 10/334,807 obvious. However, in the context of the reversal of the rejection of parent claim 10, we find the teachings insufficient. In view of the use by McKee of solder balls 40 to establish conductive bridges from the package to the motherboard instead of the capacitor 50, the McKee reference does not render the claim elements obvious over the prior art. We do not sustain the rejection of claims 13 and 14. Conclusion In view of the foregoing discussion, we reverse the Examiner’s rejection of claims 10, 11 and 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and claims 13 and 14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). REVERSED KENNETH W.
