OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal and the
rejection advanced by the examiner. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken
into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellant’s arguments set forth
in the briefs along with the examiner’s rationale in support of the rejection and
arguments in rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer.
It is our view, after consideration of the record before us, that the claims
on appeal are not directed to statutory subject matter. Accordingly, we affirm.
