Conclusion of Law Based on the record of this appeal, one with ordinary skill in this art would have had a reasonable expectation that the nonwoven fabrics of Lawless would be successfully laminated to molded hooks using the process taught by Kennedy in the manner proposed by the Examiner. Order The decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-6, 8-10, and 12-19 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). AFFIRMED clj Fish & Richardson PC P.O.
