Application No. 09/366,477
1379, 1382 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Woodruff, 919 F.2d 1575, 1578, 16 USPQ2d 1934, 1936-37
(CCPA 1976); In re Geisler, 116 F.3d 1465, 1469, 43 USPQ2d 1362, 1365 (Fed. Cir. 1997).
We conclude that the Examiner has established a prima facie case of obviousness with
respect to the subject matter of claims 4, 5, 20 over Abichandani, Chang and Dwyer which has
not been sufficiently rebutted by Appellant.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-20 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) is affirmed.
