Appeal 2007-0615 Application 10/204,304 Appellant regarding the experiments conducted on the samples of Figures 2 and 4 make a valid and conclusive comparison of the claimed invention and the prior art (i.e., Lakowicz, Jolson and Macur) impossible. For the above reasons, Appellant has not convinced us that Examiner’s prima facie case of obviousness is in error. Accordingly, we affirm the Examiner’s § 103(a) rejection of claims 1 and 2 over Lakowicz in view of Jolson or Macur. DECISION We have affirmed the § 103(a) rejection of claims 1 and 2 over Lakowicz in view of Jolson or Macur. The Examiner’s decision 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).
