Appeal No. 2006-1734
Application 09/855,624
references are cited by the examiner to further substantiate facts already in
the evidentiary record made by the examiner and appellants. As such, they
are not considered a basis for a new ground of rejection but are considered
standard reference works in the art. See In re Boon, 439 F.2d 724, 727, 169
USPQ 231, 2347 (CCPA 1971). Notwithstanding these considerations, note
again we have expanded upon the teaching value of Aziz and Crowle earlier
in this opinion.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner rejecting
various claims under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
