Appeal No. 1999-1871 Page 8 Application No. 08/688,337 CONCLUSION We conclude that the Examiner has established a prima facie case of obviousness with respect to the subject matter of claims 1-8 which has not been sufficiently rebutted by Appellant. To summarize, the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is affirmed.
