Appeal No. 2004-1218
Application No. 09/956,195
For the foregoing reasons and those set forth in the Answer,
we determine that the examiner has established a prima facie case
of obviousness in view of the reference evidence. Based on the
totality of the record, including due consideration of appellants’
arguments, we determine that the preponderance of evidence weighs
most heavily in favor of obviousness within the meaning of section
103(a). Accordingly, the rejection of claims 1-9 and 11 under 35
U.S.C. § 103(a) over Morse in view of Chapman and Conville is
affirmed.
