Appeal 2007-2580
Application 10/290,267
crimp sleeve. Since Holliday fails to teach or disclose each and every
element of independent claim 1, we cannot sustain the anticipation rejection
of claims 1, 4, and 7. In addition, we agree that Schauer does not cure the
deficiency of Holliday. Therefore, the combination of Holliday and Schauer
fails to render obvious claim 5. Consequently, we cannot sustain the
obviousness rejection of claim 5.
ORDER
The decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1, 4, and 7 under
35 U.S.C. § 102(b) and claim 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
REVERSED
