Appeal No. 2004-2296 Application No. 10/017,031 teachings of these two references alone demonstrate the prima facie obviousness of the subject matter as a whole of instant claims 10 and 18. We therefore sustain the rejection of claims 1-24 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Haba, Mauritz, Hsuan, and Kim. For the subject matter of the representative independent claims, we consider the Kim reference to be merely cumulative in its teachings. CONCLUSION The rejection of claims 1 and 18 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and the rejection of claims 1-24 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are affirmed. -7-Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
