Appeal No. 1998-3106
Application 08/679,603
493, 20 USPQ2d 1438, 1442 (Fed. Cir. 1991); O’Farrell, 853
F.2d at 902, 7 USPQ2d at 1680. For this reason and because
the appellants have not relied upon evidence which is
effective for overcoming the prima facie case of obviousness,
we affirm the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Schulz in
view of Antonen and Bilgrien.
DECISION
The rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) of claims 1, 3-8,
12 and 13 over Schulz in view of Antonen and Bilgrien, and
claims 1-13 over Schulz in view of Antonen, Bilgrien and Gray,
are affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
AFFIRMED
