Application No. 10/655,904
which includes at least two rows of filaments with an overall
thickness of at least 400 micrometers.
Turning to the rejection of claims 19-21, we note that
Appellant’s arguments are essentially the same as those provided
for the rejection of claims 7 and 8. Based on the same rationale
discussed above regarding claims 7 and 8, we also remain
unconvinced by Appellant’s arguments that any error occurred in
the Examiner’s conclusion of unpatentability with respect to
claims 19-21.
In view of our review of Ichikawa and the claimed subject
matter encompassed by the claims, we find that the Examiner has
presented a reasonable case of prima facie obviousness.
Accordingly, we sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims
1-5 and 7-21 over Ichikawa.
