only one transparent filler, aluminum trihydrate. While Appellants make a conclusory statement
that the results are commensurate in scope with the claims, they clearly are not.
Having considered all the evidence of record in this appeal, we conclude that the totality
of the evidence supports a legal conclusion of obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
CONCLUSION
In summary, we affirm the Examiner’s decision to reject claims 1-13, 15, and 16 under
35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be
extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (effective Sep. 13, 2004; 69 Fed. Reg. 49960 (Aug. 12,
2004); 1286 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 21 (Sep. 7, 2004)).
