                Appeal 2007-0176                                                                               
                Application 11/050,553                                                                         

                disclosed at page 10 of the Specification for the claimed properties would                     
                seem to allay any suggestion of criticality.                                                   
                      As a final point, we note that Appellants base no argument upon                          
                objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected results, which                        
                would serve to rebut the prima facie case of obviousness established by the                    
                Examiner.                                                                                      
                      In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the Examiner’s decision                           
                rejecting the appealed claims is affirmed.                                                     
                      No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                       
                this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (2004).
