Appeal No. 2005-0062
Application 09/222,906
With respect to independent claim 15, Appellant has
presented no arguments as to why the Examiner has failed to
properly establish a prima facie case of obviousness. See
section B of Appellant’s brief at pages 6-7 that is directed to
claims 6-7 and 13-17. Section A of Appellant’s brief is directed
to independent claims 1, 8, and 18. Section B refers back to the
arguments of section A, but lists the independent claims as 1, 8,
and 15. The result is that there are no arguments with respect
to claims 15-17.
Therefore, we will sustain the Examiner’s rejection under
35 U.S.C. § 103.
Conclusion
In view of the foregoing discussion, we have sustained the
rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102 of claims 1-5, 8-12, and 18-19;
we have not sustained the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of
claims 6-7 and 13-14; and we have sustained the rejection under
35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 15-17.
