Claim 1-52, all of the appealed claims, stand finally rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over the admitted
prior art in view of Plain Dealer, Cones, St. Paul, and Successful
Farming.
Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellant and the
Examiner, reference is made to the Briefs2 and the Answer for the
respective details.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal, the
rejection advanced by the Examiner and the evidence of obviousness
relied upon by the Examiner as support for the rejection. We have,
likewise, reviewed and taken into consideration, in reaching our
decision, Appellant’s arguments set forth in the Briefs along with
the Examiner’s rationale in support of the rejection and arguments
in rebuttal set forth in the Examiner’s Answer.
