               Appeal No. 2003-1192                                                                        Page 5                 
               Application No. 09/660,888                                                                                         


               Obviousness-type Double Patenting                                                                                  
                      As noted by the Examiner, Appellants do not contest the rejection under the judicially                      
               created doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting (Answer, p. 9).  We, therefore, summarily                    
               affirm with respect to this rejection.                                                                             


                                                        CONCLUSION                                                                
                      To summarize, the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-11 and 13-21 under                            
               35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed, but the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-11 and 13-21                   
               under the judicially created doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting is summarily                            
               affirmed.
