Appeal No. 2000-0131
Application No. 08/800,972
reviewing court requires this evidence in order to establish a
prima facie case. In re Knapp-Monarch Co., 296 F.2d 230, 232, 132
USPQ 6, 8 (CCPA 1961); In re Cofer, 354 F.2d 664, 668, 148 USPQ
268, 271-72 (CCPA 1966).
In summary, with respect to the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
rejection of the appealed claims, we have sustained the rejection
of claims 16, 17, 19, and 25-29, but have not sustained the
rejection of claims 18, 20, 24, and 31. Therefore, the Examiner’s
decision rejecting claims 16-20, 24-29, and 31 is affirmed-in-part.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection
with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
