Appeal No. 2004-2008
Application No. 09/955,030
The Examiner added the teachings of Borsenberger to the
combination of Rokutanzono and Bergmann to reject the subject matter of
claims 34 to 42. (Answer, pp. 5-6). The addition of the Borsenberger
reference does not address the suitability of using a Ta-doped tin oxide as
a resistivity controlling agent in the surface layer of Rokutanzono
photosensitive member.
CONCLUSION
The rejections of claims 13 to 21 and 31 to 33 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
as obvious over the combined teachings of Rokutanzono and Bergmann;
and claims 34 to 42 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over the combined
teachings of Rokutanzono, Bergmann and Borsenberger are reversed.
