Appeal 2007-0617
Application 10/292,321
teaches appropriate current densities and voltages (e.g., col. 3, ll. 22-36).
Since Venkatachalam teaches that AC and DC electrolysis of superalloys
proceed “[u]nder similar conditions,” it would have been well within the
ordinary skill in this art to employ the values for the operating parameters as
taught by Krynitz in the process of Venkatachalam (Venkatachalam, p. 130,
right col.). We note that Appellants have not argued or presented any
showing of unexpected results.
For the foregoing reasons and those stated in the Answer, we affirm
the rejection of claims 1-3 and 5-8 under § 103(a) over Venkatachalam in
view of Krynitz.
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)(2007).
