Application No. 09/863,664
We therefore conclude that Goss fails to establish a prima facie case of
obviousness with regard to the subject matter recited in independent claim 24, and we
will not sustain the rejection of claim 24 or of claims 25-32, which depend therefrom.
CONCLUSION
The rejection of claim 23 as being anticipated by Goss is sustained.
The rejection of claim 33 as being anticipated by Goss is not sustained.
The rejection of claims 24-32 as being unpatentable over Goss is not sustained.
The decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal
may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
