                Appeal 2007-1819                                                                             
                Application 09/886,055                                                                       
                Accordingly, we find that the evidence of record fails to suggest that a                     
                person of ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention was made would                 
                have been able to predictably combine Burford and Krautwurst to obtain a                     
                method for representing sensory perception of one or more odorants as set                    
                forth in Appellants’ claims.                                                                 
                      Therefore, we reverse the rejection of claims 23-33 under 35 U.S.C.                    
                § 103(a) as unpatentable over the combination of Krautwurst and Burford.                     


                                              CONCLUSION                                                     
                      In summary, we reverse the rejection of claims 23-33 under 35 U.S.C.                   
                § 103(a) as unpatentable over the combination of Krautwurst and Burford.                     

                                                REVERSED                                                     




                lbg
