Appeal No. 2005-0077 Application No. 10/293,545 readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. In re Ludwig, 353 F.2d 241, 243-44, 147 USPQ 420, 421 (CCPA 1965). As a final point, we note that appellant bases no argument upon objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected results, which would serve to rebut the inference of obviousness established by the examiner. In conclusion, based on the foregoing and the reasons well- stated by the examiner, the examiner's decision rejecting the appealed claims is affirmed. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a). AFFIRMED EDWARD C. KIMLIN ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) ) BRADLEY R.
