Appeal No. 2006-2332 Application No. 09/751,610 the evidence of record, in support of the allegation. The allegation, without more, carries little weight in the instant inquiry. Because Li and Epstein are sufficient to demonstrate prima facie unpatentability of at least instant claim 20, we consider Mano to represent merely cumulative teachings. We sustain the § 103 rejection of claims 1-3, 20-24, 26-29, 31-37, 39-45, 47, and 48. CONCLUSION The rejection of claims 1-3, 20-24, 26-29, 31-37, 39-45, 47, and 48 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed. -6-Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
