Appeal No. 2003-1754
Application No. 09/821,137 Page 4
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Kaiser, Pasta, Pies and Pastries, “Tart Recipes from around the
World” , pp. 2, 7-9, 11, 30, 43, 48, 115 and 116, cover pages, an
unnumbered page entitled “About the Author”, two unnumbered pages
illustrating devices, and a “Table of Contents” page (no
publication date provided).1
Shideler, “Ways to Make it Through the First Day of School,”
Wichita Eagle, Living Section, page 1c, Aug. 14, 1994.
Claims 45-54 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over Kaiser in view of Shideler.
We refer to the briefs and to the answer for a complete
exposition of the opposing viewpoints expressed by appellants and
the examiner concerning the issues before us on this appeal.
OPINION
Having carefully considered each of appellants* arguments
and the evidence in support thereof as set forth in the brief and
reply brief, appellants have not persuaded us of reversible error
on the part of the examiner. Accordingly, we will affirm the
examiner’s rejection for substantially the reasons set forth by
the examiner in the answer. We add the following for emphasis.
1 Appellants do not dispute the examiner’s finding that the
excerpts from Kaiser, which were submitted by appellants,
represent prior art to the here claimed invention. See page 3 of
the examiner’s answer and item No. 4 of Paper No. 6.
