Appeal No. 2005-0704
Application No. 09/812,293
Consequently, we are satisfied that it would have been obvious for
one of ordinary skill in the art to modify the known extrusion
apparatus with a guide insert that corresponds to the known
pattern of reinforcement cords ultimately desired, as long as the
disadvantage of an axially extending seam can be tolerated. We
note that appellant bases no arguments upon objective evidence of
noobviousness, such as unexpected results, which would serve to
rebut the inference of obviousness established by the state of the
prior art.
In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's
decision rejecting the appealed claims is affirmed.
