Appeal No. 1999-2678
Application 08/704,705
and the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole
would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to
a person having ordinary skill in the art. Consequently, we
shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejections
of claims 12 through 30.
In summary, the decision of the examiner to reject claims
12 through 30 is affirmed with respect to claims 12 through
23, 29 and 30, and reversed with respect to claims 24 through
28.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
