            Appeal 2006-1068                                                                                  
            Reissue Application 08/425,766                                                                    

                                                                                                              
                   Judge Jerry Smith, concurring.                                                             
                   A.    Discussion                                                                           
                         1.     The Examiner’s prima facie case                                               
                   I concur with the opinions of Judge Garris and Judge MacDonald.  The                       
            Examiner has made out a prima facie case of recapture.                                            
                         2.     Applicant’s response to the examiner’s case                                   
                   I concur with the opinions of Judge Garris and Judge MacDonald.                            
            Appellants fail to rebut the Examiner’s prima facie case.                                         
                   B.    Decision                                                                             
                   Upon consideration of the record, and for the reasons given, the decision of               
            the Examiner rejecting reissue claims 1-20 based on recapture is affirmed.                        
                                                AFFIRMED                                                      

                                                                                                             
                                                                                                              
                                                                       )   BOARD OF PATENT

                                                                       )    INTERFERENCES
