Appeal 2006-2950 Application 10/036,126 carried such burden. Accordingly, from our perspective, the claimed functional limitation “for forming an electrically conductive antistatic layer” recited in the appealed claims does not preclude the above combination taught by Muys. Accordingly, for the factual findings set forth above and in the Answer, we concur with the Examiner that Muys and Gardener would have rendered the subject matter recited in claims 1 through 12 and 17 through 19 obvious within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103. VII. ORDER The decision of the Examiner is affirmed. VIII. TIME PERIOD No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
