Appeal 2007-0414 Application 10/691,113 note that Appellants base no argument on unexpected results attributed to the claimed spacing. One final point remains. In the event of further prosecution of the subject matter at bar, such as by way of a continuing application, the Examiner should also consider rejecting the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on the Johnson disclosure. In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the Examiner’s decision rejecting the appealed claims 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) (2004).
