Appeal No. 2006-0255
Application No. 09/839,596
We now consider the rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
Appellants have presented no arguments with respect to these
rejections. Since we find that the examiner’s rejections under
35 U.S.C. § 103 established at least a prima facie case of
obviousness, and since appellants have offered no arguments in
rebuttal, we sustain the examiner’s rejections of claims 6-18 for
the reasons given in the rejections and in view of our comments
above.
In summary, we have sustained each of the examiner’s
rejections of the claims on appeal. Therefore, the decision of
the examiner rejecting claims 5-18 is affirmed.
