Appeal 2007-2519 Application 10/616,208 For at least the aforementioned reasons, we agree with Appellant that the Examiner has failed to meet the burden of presenting a prima facie case of obviousness. Accordingly, we will reverse the Examiner’s rejection of independent claims 1 and 10 as being unpatentable over Feyereisen in view of Amro. Because we have reversed the Examiner’s rejection of each independent claim, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of any dependent claims under appeal. Therefore, we also reverse the Examiner’s rejection of dependent claims 2-9 and 11-19 as being unpatentable over Feyereisen in view of Amro. DECISION In summary, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of any claims under appeal. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-19 is reversed. REVERSED pgc Lance J.
