Appeal No. 1997-1826
Application No. 08/304,951
For the foregoing reasons, we determine that the examiner
has established a prima facie case of obviousness in view of
the reference evidence. Based on the totality of the record,
giving due consideration of appellants’ arguments, we
determine that the preponderance of evidence weighs in favor
of obviousness. Accordingly, the examiner’s rejection of the
claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over
Carabateas is affirmed.
