to present reasons in support thereof. Therefore,
these claims are presumed to stand or fall together.
Appellant does not challenge the examiner’s position. Nor do
we find any substantive arguments for the separate
patentability of claims 2 through 5, 7 and 14 in accordance 1
with 37 CFR
§ 1.192(c)(7)and(c)(8)(iv) (1995). See Brief in its entirety.
Therefore, for purposes of this appeal, we will limit our
discussion to claim 13 which is reproduced below:
13. A tubular body comprising an inner layer of thermoplastic
material and an outer layer of fiber-reinforced reaction resin
cured by exposure to light and at a temperature between
approximately 20 and 60°C.

canceled claim 1. In the event of further prosecution, both
the examiner and appellant are advised to correct this error
so that claim 14 can be dependent on a pending claim.
2The availavility of this patent or its content as "prior
art" has never been contested by appellant.
