Claims 20-22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over FJCP in view of Monn and Morag. Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and the appellants regarding the above-noted rejections, we make reference to the answer (mailed April 21, 2005) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the rejections, and to the brief (filed March 21, 2005) for the appellants’ arguments thereagainst. Only those arguments actually made by appellants have been considered in this decision. Arguments which appellants could have made but chose not to make in the brief have not been considered.
