Appeal 2007-1482
Application 10/484,149
as noted above, Appellants' very Specification clearly states that poly-
carbonates of the present invention encompass mixtures of polycarbonates
and polyesters. Consequently, Appellants' argument that "the resultant
'blend' of polyesters and polycarbonates is outside the scope of the claimed
invention" is totally without merit (see Reply Br. 7, second para.).
As a final point, we note that Appellants base no argument upon
objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected results, which
would serve to rebut the inference of obviousness established by the
Examiner.
In conclusion, based on the foregoing and the reasons well-stated by
the Examiner, 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)(iv)(effective Sept.
13, 2004).
AFFIRMED
