Appeal 2007-2045
Application 10/204,670
language in claim 5 with respect to the "corresponding structure" in the
Specification and "equivalents" thereof in a manner consistent with the
statutory requirements necessary to establish a prima facie case of
obviousness of claim 5 and claims 46-48 and 54, dependent thereon.
Accordingly, we affirm the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as to
claims 1-4 and 40-45 and reverse the rejection as to claims 5, 46-48, and 54.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with
this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(i)(iv).
