Appeal No. 1998-2910 Application No. 08/500,282 "peaked" structure to be pyramid-shaped and, notably, for the same reason espoused by appellant, i.e., larger enhancement, or better emission characteristics. The disclosed "peak" structure would also be suggestive of the "textured surface" discussed supra. Since all of appellant's arguments have been treated and dismissed, for the reasons supra, as being not persuasive of nonobviousness in view of the prima facie case presented by the examiner, we will sustain the rejection of claims 1, 3-6, 9-12 and 15-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The examiner's decision is affirmed. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a). 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
