Appeal No. 2000-0643
Application 08/273,423
the evidence of record and appellant’s arguments, we find no error in the examiner’s
conclusion that the evidence relied on by appellant is insufficient to overcome the prima
facie case of obviousness.
On this record, we find no error in the examiner’s determination that claim 15 is
unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As previously indicated, claims 10 through 14 and
16 fall with claim 15. Accordingly, the rejection of claims 10 through 16 under 35 U.S.C. §
103 is affirmed.
CONCLUSION
We have affirmed Rejection II of claims 10 through 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103, and
reversed Rejection I of claims 1 through 9 under the same section of the statute. BY our
action today, claims 1 through 9 are free of rejection.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may
be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
