Appeal 2007-0295 Application 09/051,565 the Examiner’s factual findings and conclusion of law as stated in the Answer 6-7. For the foregoing reasons and those stated in the Answer, we determine that a prima facie case of obviousness has been established by the reference evidence. Based on the totality of the record, including due consideration of Appellant’s arguments, we determine that the preponderance of the evidence weighs most heavily in favor of obviousness within the meaning of § 103(a). Therefore, we affirm the sole rejection on appeal. The decision of the Examiner 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)(2006).
