Appeal No. 2003-1656
Application No. 09/725,973
In light of the foregoing, it is our ultimate determination
that the reference evidence adduced by the Examiner establishes a
prima facie case of obviousness which the Appellants have failed to
successfully rebut with argument or evidence of nonobviousness. We
hereby sustain, therefore, the Examiner’s § 103 rejection of all
appealed claims as being unpatentable over Oozu in view of Jedlicka
and Chiulli. See In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443, 1445, 24 USPQ2d
1443, 1444 (Fed. Cir. 1992).
The decision of the Examiner is affirmed.
