have not directed us to evidence that the described hydroxylamine stabilizers would not
perform as disclosed by Seltzer.
We note that Appellants have not relied upon evidence of unexpected results to
rebut the Examiner’s obviousness determination.
CONCLUSION
Based on our consideration of the totality of the record before us, having
evaluated the prima facie case of obviousness in view of Appellants’ arguments and
evidence, we conclude that the subject matter of claims 1 to 11, 35 to 40 and 44 would
have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art from the combined teachings
of the cited prior art. See In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443, 1445, 24 USPQ2d 1443, 1444
(Fed. Cir. 1992). Accordingly, the Examiner's rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is
affirmed.
