                Appeal 2007-1675                                                                                
                Application 10/158,708                                                                          
                col. 1, ll. 16-17 and 25-30).  Accordingly, we find no evidence on this record                  
                to support the Examiner’s assertion that Bortz teaches an acrylic polymer or                    
                a material that is capable of being thermoformed, e.g., a thermoplastic.                        
                       Accordingly, we reverse the rejection of claims 1, 14, 16, 29, 31, and                   
                32 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over the combination of Bortz                       
                and Wimmer.                                                                                     

                                               CONCLUSION                                                       
                       In summary, we reverse all grounds of rejection.
