Appeal No. 2007-1072 Application No. 09/872,250 references teach the use of a preparation containing an identical content of the oral contraceptive administered in the first month and each subsequent month. We can find no motivation to arrive at the claimed kit containing two cycle packs of oral contraceptives, one pack containing a lower effective dosage of steroid than the second pack, either in the prior art or the general knowledge in the as art set forth in the record by the examiner, except Appellant’s own disclosure. Thus, as the Examiner has not met the burden of prima facie case of obviousness, we are compelled to reverse the rejection. 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next
