Decision on Appeal and Opinion
This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the decision of the examiner refusing to allow
claims 1 through 23 as amended subsequent to the final rejection.1
We have carefully considered the record before us, and based thereon, find that we cannot
sustain the grounds of rejection of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Kazunari et al.
