the base claims. In our view, Appellant’s arguments
improperly attempt to narrow the scope of the claim by
implicitly adding disclosed limitations which have no basis
in the claim. See In re Morris, 127 F.3d 1048, 1054-55, 44
USPQ2d 1023, 1027-28 (Fed. Cir. 1997).
In summary, we have sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) rejection of all of the claims on appeal.
Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 2-
6, 8, 9, and 12-16 is affirmed.
