                Appeal 2007-2153                                                                                   
                Application 10/304,730                                                                             

                of Martinez are in contact.  This follows from Martinez apparently adhering                        
                the background substrate before positioning the appliqués.                                         
                       The “secondary” references are not cited by the Examiner to remedy                          
                the deficiencies of Martinez discussed above and, in fact, do not do so.                           
                       In conclusion, based on the foregoing, we are constrained to reverse                        
                the Examiner’s rejections.
