            Appeal No. 2005-0952                                                                         
            Application No. 09/908,282                                                                   

            must result in a new and unobvious functional relationship                                   
            between the printed matter and the form.  As we have indicated                               
            above, no such functional relationship exists in the present                                 
            case.                                                                                        

            In light of the foregoing, the examiner's rejection of                                       
            claims 1 through 9 and 12 through 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as                             
            being unpatentable over Korondi has been sustained; and the                                  
            examiner’s rejection of claims 10 and 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)                            
            as being unpatentable over Korondi in view of Amon has been                                  
            sustained.  Thus, the decision of the examiner is affirmed.                                  














                                                   11
