Appeal No. 2007-1703 Page 5
Application No. 09/729,261
C. Principles of Law
Anticipation is a question of fact. In re Schreiber, 128 F.3d 1473, 1477, 44
USPQ2d 1429, 1431 (Fed. Cir. 1997).
D. Analysis
The facts show that Lasch describes a process of blending infrared filtering
material with plastic and extruding the blend into sheets from which transaction
cards are fabricated. (FF 6). The resulting transaction card will have the infrared
filtering material incorporated and embedded throughout the card. Accordingly,
the Examiner did not err in finding that Lasch describes infrared material
embedded in the transaction card core.
The rejection is affirmed.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
On the record before us, Appellant has failed to show that the Examiner
erred in rejecting the claims over the prior art.
