Appeal 2006-2955

25, as well as their dependent claims 2-12, 14-23, 25, and 28-37 over Stone,
Novel, and Smith.
With respect to the rejection of claims 26 and 27, we note that
Appellants rely on the same arguments presented for their base independent
claims (Br. 25). In view of our analysis above, we also sustain the 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 rejection of claims 26 and 27 over Stone, Novel, Smith, and Prame.
CONCLUSION
On the record before us, Appellants have failed to show that the
Examiner has erred in rejecting the claims or the rejection is not supported
by a legally sufficient basis for holding that the claimed subject would have
been obvious within the meaning of § 103(a).
DECISION
The decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-37 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 is affirmed.
