Appeal No. 2005-2632 9
Application No. 09/768,736
these claims, we agree with the examiner (answer, page 7) that they should be
considered to fall with independent claims 1 and 14. Therefore, the examiner’s rejection
of claims 4 through 6, 8 and 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is sustained.
In light of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 6, 8,
14 and 16 through 20 of the application is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
