Appeal No. 2007-0068 Application No. 10/230,452 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claim 11 over Wu and Kondo Turning now to the rejection of claim 11, we find that Appellant merely points out that the claim should be allowed because of its dependency upon base claim 1 (Br. 14). As we discussed the teachings of Wu with respect to claim 1, supra., we also find that the Examiner has made a reasonable case of prima facie obviousness with respect to the combination of Wu and Kondo. Therefore, we sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claim 11 over Wu and Kondo. CONCLUSION In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-4, 7-10, 12-15, and 17-22 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and rejecting claims 5, 6, 11, and 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next
