Appeal No. 2001-0079
Application No. 09/092,702
(Fed. Cir. 1997). For the above reasons, since the Examiner’s
prima facie case of obviousness remains unrebutted by any
convincing arguments of Appellants, the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) rejection of independent claims 7 and 19 is sustained.
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 7 and 19, but have not sustained the
rejection of claims 8-10, 20-22, 25, and 26. Therefore, the
Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 7-10, 19-22, 25, and 26 is
affirmed-in-part.
