Appeal No. 2006-1880
Application No. 10/064,363
1402, 181 USPQ 641, 644 (CCPA 1974).3 Accordingly, the
Examiner’s obviousness rejection of claims 1, 4, and 6 is
sustained based on Scherzinger alone.
Conclusion
In view of the foregoing discussion, we have sustained the
rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102 of claims 1, 4, and 6.
3 The Board may rely on less than all of the references applied
by the Examiner in an obviousness rationale without designating
it as a new ground of rejection. In re Bush, 296 F.2d 491, 496,
131 USPQ 263, 266-67 (CCPA 1961); In re Boyer, 363 F.2d 455, 458
n.2 150 USPQ 441, 444 n.2 (CCPA 1966).
