                 Application 09/891,948                                                                              
                        For the above reasons, we conclude that:                                                     
                 1.  the combined teachings of Apps ‘279, Hammett, McGrath, and Sauey                                
                 would not have suggested modifying the low depth bottle case of Apps ‘279                           
                 to form the interior columns 30 with a height less than the height of the                           
                 columns 30 disposed along the sidewalls 12, 14, 16, 18;                                             
                 2.  the combined teachings of Apps ‘793, Hammett, McGrath, and Sauey                                
                 would not have suggested modifying the low depth bottle case of Apps ‘793                           
                 to form the columns 52, 54, 56 with a height less than the height of the                            
                 pylons 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 along the side walls of the case; and                                     
                 3.  the combined teachings of Apps ‘002, Hammett, McGrath, and Sauey                                
                 would not have suggested modifying the cross-stacking bottle case of Apps                           
                 ‘002 to form the interior columns 30 with a height less than the height of the                      
                 columns 30 disposed along the sidewalls 12, 14, 16, 18.                                             
                        In light of the above, none of the Examiner’s rejections can be                              
                 sustained.
