                Appeal  2007-2372                                                                                
                Application 10/395,654                                                                           
                flanges, in whole or in part from demineralized bone in light of the teaching                    
                of Morris.                                                                                       
                       Scarborough relates to aspects of certain dependent claims that are not                   
                at issue in this appeal.  Applicant has not made any arguments for                               
                patentability based on unexpected results or other "secondary" indicia of                        
                patentability, and we consider such arguments to have been waived.  All                          
                claims fall with Claim 29.                                                                       
                                                  Conclusion                                                     
                       Having considered all the evidence of record for and against the                          
                patentability of Claims 29-33, 40, 42-50, and 53-59 of Application                               
                10/395,654 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a), we affirm the appealed final                                
                rejections.                                                                                      
                                                     Order                                                       
                       Upon consideration of the appeal, and for the reasons given, it is                        
                       ORDERED that the decision of the Examiner rejecting Claims 29-33,                         
                40, 42-50, and 53-59 of Application 10/395,654 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is                       
                affirmed;                                                                                        
                       FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this decision be placed in
