Appeal No. 2003-1930
Application No. 09/797,326
Inc., 927 F.2d 1565, 1576-77, 18 USPQ2d 1001, 1010 (Fed. Cir. 1991). Here, the reference
to the Yoshinari reference was to establish that persons of ordinary skill in the art would
have recognized the result that would have been obtained by adjusting the amount of
chromium and tantalum in a nickel based alloy.
Appellants provide additional argument directed to the significance of the data in the
specification. (Rehearing request pp. 4-5). These additional arguments are not persuasive
for the reasons stated above and in our prior decision.
We have granted Appellants’ request to the extent that we have reconsidered our
decision of September 26, 2003, but we deny the request with respect to making any changes
therein.
