the art. Similarly, we agree with the examiner that the use of
additional clear coatings, as taught by Sada, would have been
obvious in the structure of Kamiya to improve the brilliancy of the

obviousness within the meaning of section 103(a). Accordingly, we
affirm all rejections on appeal based on section 103(a).
