ordinary skill. In re Sovish, 769 F.2d 738, 743, 226 USPQ
771, 774 (Fed. Cir. 1985).
For the foregoing reasons, we are satisfied that the
combined teachings of Ament and the Soviet patent are
sufficient to have suggested the subject matter of claim 9.
Therefore, we shall sustain the examiner's rejection of claim
9, as well as claims 10-14 which appellant has grouped
therewith (brief, p. 3).
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 9-14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
