Appeal No. 2005-2073
Application No. 10/033,854
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the
examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal,
the rejection advanced by the examiner and the evidence of
obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the
rejection. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into
consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’
arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner’s
rationale in support of the rejection and arguments in rebuttal
set forth in the examiner’s answer.
It is our view, after consideration of the record before us,
that the evidence relied upon and the level of skill in the
particular art would have suggested to one of ordinary skill in
the art the obviousness of the invention as set forth in the
claims on appeal. Accordingly, we affirm.
Appellants have indicated that for purposes of this appeal
the claims will all stand or fall together as a single group
[brief, page 6]. Consistent with this indication appellants have
made no separate arguments with respect to any of the claims on
appeal. Accordingly, all the claims before us will stand or fall
