Appeal No. 2005-2330
Application No. 10/026,123
Compare Schmitz, Figures 24 and 25 with the appellants’ Figures
19 and 20.
With respect to claim 8, we note that Schmitz teaches
partially bending inwardly a portion of the longitudinal edge of
the web on a pick-up drum prior to rotating it with gripping
means. See column 9, line 49 to column 10, line 8, together with
Figures 14-17.
CONCLUSION
In view of the foregoing, we determine that the examiner has
established a prima facie case of obviousness regarding the
claimed subject matter, which is not adequately rebutted by the
appellants. Accordingly, we affirm the examiner’s decision
rejecting the claims on appeal 35 U.S.C. § 103.
