Appeal No. 2005-1435
Application No. 09/906,564
1985)(Skill is presumed on the part of those practicing in the
art); In re Bozek, 416 F.2d 1385, 1390, 163 USPQ 545, 549 (CCPA
1969) (the conclusion of obviousness may be made from “common
knowledge and common sense” of the person of ordinary skill in
the art). As is apparent from Kastl, bending plastics in
general, including polycarbonate plastics, via heating is
conventional.
CONCLUSION
For the factual findings set forth in the Answer and above,
we are not persuaded by the appellant’s arguments. Thus, on this
record, we concur with the examiner that one of ordinary skill in
the art armed with the knowledge indicated supra would have been
led to the claimed subject matter. Accordingly, we affirm the
examiner’s decision rejecting the claims on appeal under
35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
