In light of the foregoing, we cannot sustain the
examiner’s section 103 rejection of all appealed claims as
being unpatentable over Corneil in view of Suggitt, Cimbalo,

rejection of all appealed claims based on obviousness-type
double patenting and the section 103 rejection of claims 35
through 39 and 41 through 45 as being unpatentable over
Suggitt in view of Bertus, Readal and Japanese ‘406. All
other rejections advanced by the examiner on this appeal have
been reversed.
The decision of the examiner is affirmed.
