persuasive, and we will sustain the rejection of independent claim 26 and
dependent claims 27-33 grouped therewith by Appellants.
With respect to dependent claims 12 and 22, Appellants rely upon the
asserted deficiency in the prima facie case of claims 10 and 19. Since we
found a prima facie case of obviousness with respect to claims 10 and 19, we
will sustain the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of dependent claims 12 and
22.
With respect to dependent claims 7 and 8, Appellants rely upon the
asserted deficiency in the prima facie case of claim 1. Since we found a
prima facie case of obviousness with respect to claim 1, we will sustain the
rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of dependent claims 7 and 8.
With respect to dependent claims 16-17 and 23-24, Appellants rely
upon the asserted deficiency in the prima facie case of claim 1. Since we
found a prima facie case of obviousness with respect to claims 10 and 19, we
will sustain the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of dependent claims 16-17
and 23-24.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, we have sustained the rejections of claims 1 and 4-34
under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
