The Examiner finds the combination of Sirola, Binstead, and Gibson teaches the limitations of claim 9, and reasoned that "two-sided panel [display] is a combination of two display[ s] back to back. To use additional display and additional sensor still is obvious variation of prior art of the record." Ans. 4. The Examiner finds "it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of invention to interchange value the number of sensors and display panels." Final Act. 5 (citing In re Rose, 220 F.2d 459, 105 U.S.P.Q. 237 (C.C.P.A. 1955)).
Appellant argues the Examiner's reliance on In re Rose is misplaced because the case merely holds that creating multiple bundles of wood rather than a single bundle of wood is not inventive. App. Br. 10 (citing In re Rose, 220 F .2d at 463). Appellant argues claim 9 "implicates far more than a mere change in size." App. Br. 11.
Appellant has persuaded us of Examiner error.
Rose, In re, 220 F.2d 459, 105 USPQ 237 (CCPA 1955) 2144.04
