Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for the respective details thereof. OPINION We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner, the arguments in support of the rejections and the evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the obviousness rejections. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellant’s arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner’s rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer. 4Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
