Appeal No. 2005-1918 Παγε 8
Application No. 09/946,396
to overcome the prima facie case of anticipation. The rejection of claims 1 and 2 under
35 U.S.C. § 102 (b) as anticipated by Gebert is affirmed.
Obviousness
The examiner rejected claims 1-5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 (a) as unpatentable
over Gebert and Bayerlein.
In responding to the examiner’s rejection, appellants merely reiterate their
arguments regarding Gebert. We find these arguments to be unpersuasive for the
reasons discussed above. The rejection of claims 1-5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is
affirmed.
