Appeal 2006-3343
Application 10/372,564
1 III. The Rejection of Claims 15-20 Under 35 USC §103(a) as
2 Obvious over Chamberlain, Denesuk, and Albin.
3 No separate argument relating to the merits of this rejection has been
4 made in the Appellant’s Brief. The Examiner rejected these claims for
5 substantially the same reasons as claims 1-14, and the Appellant has failed to
6 show error in that rejection.
7 Accordingly, we affirm this rejection for the reasons stated above.
8 CONCLUSION OF LAW
9 On the record before us, the Appellant has not shown error on the part
10 of the Examiner. It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the
11 art at the time the invention was made to utilize an interfacing fabric,
12 including a non-stretchy polyester material such as described in Denesuk in
13 the fitted sheet of Chamberlain.
14 DECISION
15 The Rejection of Claims 1-9 and 11-14 Under 35 USC §103(a) as
16 being unpatentable over Chamberlain in view of Denesuk is AFFIRMED.
17 The Rejection of Claim 10 under 35 U.S.C. §103(a) as being
18 Unpatentable over Chamberlain, Denesuk, and Albin is AFFIRMED.
19 The Rejection of Claims 15-20 Under 35 USC §103(a) as Obvious
20 over Chamberlain, Denesuk, and Albin is AFFIRMED.
21 No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with
22 this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (2006).
