Appeal No. 2005-0467
Application No. 10/217,278
As noted by the examiner, appellants base no argument upon
objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected results
or criticality, to rebut the prima facie case 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
