          Appeal No. 2005-0214                                                        
          Application No. 09/742,653                                                  

          III. 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 47 and 48 as being                 
          obvious over Calhoun ‘790 in view of Rusincovitch, and further in           
          view of Plamthottam                                                         

               Claims 47 and 48 depend upon claim 31.  We also note that on           
          page 11 of the brief, appellant presents similar arguments for              
          this rejection (i.e., that the applied references do not teach              
          adhesive articles including non-adhesive material forms                     
          comprising a polymeric ink that are embedded into the release               
          liner, even with or below, the upper surface of the release                 
          liner).                                                                     
               Hence, for the same reasons that we affirmed the rejection             
          of claim 31 as being obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Calhoun             
          ‘790 in view of Rusincovitch, we affirm this rejection.                     
          IV.  The 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 54 and 56-58 as                
               being obvious over Calhoun ‘790 in view of Rusincovitch and            
               further in view of Calhoun ‘178                                        
               Claims 54 and 56-58 also depend upon claim 31.                         
               Appellant presents similar arguments for this rejection,               
          i.e., that the applied references do not cure the deficiencies of           
          Calhoun ‘790 and Rusincovitch regarding an adhesive article                 
          including a non-adhesive material forms comprising a polymeric              
          ink that are embedded into the release liner even with or below             
          the upper surface of the release liner.                                     
               Hence, for the same reasons that we affirmed the rejection             
          of claim 31 as being obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Calhoun             
          ‘790 in view of Rusincovitch, we affirm this rejection.                     



                                         -9-
