                 Appeal 2007-0876                                                                                      
                 Application 10/057,346                                                                                

                 (McAtee, col. 30, ll. 11-27) on the surface of either layer of a two-layered                          
                 apertured personal cleansing article, we agree with the Examiner that                                 
                 McAtee suggests the desirability of an article meeting all of the structural                          
                 requirements of claim 12.                                                                             
                                                    SUMMARY                                                            
                        We agree with the Examiner that McAtee teaches that a product                                  
                 having all of the limitations of claims 1-12 would be useful as a personal                            
                 cleansing article.  We therefore affirm the Examiner’s rejection of claims                            
                 1-12 as being obvious over McAtee.                                                                    
                        No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                             
                 this appeal may be extended under 37 C.R.R. § 1.136(a).                                               

                                                    AFFIRMED
