Appeal 2006-0891
Application 10/224,886
Claims 27 and 28
With respect to claim 27, Appellant repeats the argument made in
connection with claim 22. This argument is not persuasive for the reasons
we presented above.
We conclude that the Examiner has established a prima facie case of
obviousness with respect to the subject matter of claims 27 and 28 that has
not been sufficiently rebutted by Appellant.
CONCLUSION
In summary, with respect to claims 1-13, 16-19, and 21-28, we sustain
the rejection made under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). We, however, do not sustain
the rejection as applied to claims 14 and 15. Accordingly, the decision of
the Examiner is affirmed-in-part.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with
this appeal may be extended 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
