Appeal 2007-2018
Application 09/810,377
We conclude that the Examiner has set forth a prima facie case that
claim 5 would have been obvious over Parker in view of Coneys and
Hopkins, which Appellants have not rebutted. We therefore affirm the
rejection of claim 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Claim 6 falls with claim 5.
SUMMARY
The Examiner’s position is supported by the preponderance of the
evidence of record. We therefore affirm the rejection of claims 1, 2, 4-6, 13,
14, and 17-23 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with
this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
AFFIRMED
