Appeal No. 2004-2014
Application 09/874,672
11. The dough product of claim 1 in the form of a block
having at least two different dough layers.
PRIOR ART
The examiner relies on the following prior art references:
Moline 3,765,909 Oct. 16, 1973
Weber 5,171,599 Dec. 15, 1992
A cover of Snap to Bake Cookies, Product of Pampas (unknown
publication date)(hereinafter referred to as “Pampas”).1
REJECTION
Claims 1 through 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
as unpatentable over the combined disclosures of Pampas, Moline
and Weber.
OPINION
We have carefully reviewed the claims, specification and
prior art, including all of the arguments advanced by both the
examiner and the appellants in support of their respective
positions. This review has led us to conclude that the
examiner’s Section 103 rejection is well founded. Accordingly,
1 The appellants do not argue that Pampas is not available
as “prior art.”
