Appeal 2007-0457 Application 10/652,267 CONCLUSION OF LAW On the record before us, Appellants have shown that the Examiner has failed to establish that Boucher anticipates the claimed invention under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e). Further, Appellants have shown that the Examiner has failed to establish that one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the present invention, would have concluded that Boucher renders the claimed invention unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). DECISION We reverse the Examiner’s decision to reject claims 1 through 5 and 7 through 33 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Boucher. We also reverse the Examiner’s decision to reject claim 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Boucher.
