               Application 10/831,671                                                                      
               solely upon this evidence.  The Declarant has not indicated that a shadow                   
               mask comprising multiple aperture patterns was unknown prior to this

               skill in the art would not have recognized that a shadow mask may comprise                  
               multiple shadow mask sections, each including at least one aperture pattern                 
               for annealing underlying regions of a substrate and at least one substrate                  
               alignment aperture.                                                                         
                      In conclusion, based on the foregoing and the reasons well stated by                 
               the Examiner, the Examiner’s decision rejecting the appealed claims 23-34                   
               is affirmed.                                                                                
                      No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                   
               this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(i)(iv).
