Appeal No. 2006-1456
Application No. 09/896,802
VII. Whether the Rejection of Claims 6 and 19 Under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is
proper?
It is our view, after consideration of the record before us, that the evidence
relied upon and the level of skill in the particular art would have suggested to one
of ordinary skill in the art the invention as set forth in claims 6 and 19.
Accordingly, we affirm.
With respect to dependent claims 6 and 19, Appellants merely repeat the
argument made with respect to claim 1. We have already addressed that
argument above and found it unpersuasive.
Therefore, we will sustain the Examiner’s rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
