Appeal No. 2004-0700 Application No. 09/531,671 It follows that we also hereby sustain the examiner’s section 103 rejection of claims 16, 22, 27-29, 34, 35, 37 and 38 as being unpatentable over Khandros in view of Sato. The other section 103 rejections advanced by the examiner have not been separately contested by the appellant on this appeal. See In re Dance, 160 F.3d 1339, 1340, n.2, 48 USPQ2d 1635, 1636, n.2 (Fed. Cir. 1998) and In re Nielson, 816 F.2d 1567, 1571, 2 USPQ2d 1525, 1528; compare In re McDaniel, 293 F.3d 1379, 1382-85, 63 USPQ2d 1462, 1464-66 (Fed. Cir. 2002). Thus, we likewise hereby sustain these section 103 rejections for reasons which correspond to those earlier stated. The decision of the examiner is affirmed. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
