Appeal No. 2002-0706
Application No. 09/194,773
method is not limited to any particular substrates. Rather, it
is directed to improving the chamfering of the edges of any
ceramic substrates which are inclusive of the claimed ceramic
oxygen sensor. See column 2, lines 10-17. Thus, from our
perspective, it would have logically commended itself to the
inventors who are interested in improving the chamfering of the
edges of a ceramic oxygen sensor.
In view of the foregoing, we concur with the examiner that
the claimed subject matter as a whole would have been obvious to
one of ordinary skill in the art within the meaning of 35 U.S.C.
§ 103. Accordingly, we affirm the examiner’s decision rejecting
all of the claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
