Appeal 2007-0907 Application 10/159,367 addressed by Appellants. On this record, the Johnson reference evinces a prima facie case of obviousness which the Appellants have not successfully rebutted with argument or evidence of nonobviousness. We hereby sustain, therefore, the Examiner’s § 103 rejection of all appealed claims as being unpatentable over Johnson. 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). AFFIRMED clj Akzo Nobel Inc.
