Appeal No. 2002-0643
Application No. 09/100,538
Because the appellants have failed to rebut the examiner’s
prima facie case of obviousness, we affirm the examiner’s
rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) of: (i) claims 1, 3, 4, 12,
14, 15, 23, 26, and 27 as unpatentable over Braun, Oda, and
Fukuda; (ii) claims 5, 16, 21, and 28 as unpatentable over
Braun, Oda, Fukuda, and Eldridge; (iii) claim 24 as unpatentable
over Braun, Oda, Fukuda, and Komuro; and (iv) claim 25 as
unpatentable over Braun, Oda, Fukuda, and Hanson.
The decision of the examiner is affirmed.
