Appeal 2007-2742 Application 09/764,618 1 Independent Claim 30 and Dependent Claims 29 and 31 2 Appellants separately argue claims 29-31. Claim 30 is a broader form of claim 3 21 and claims 29 and 31 each add the limitation of lack of intervention in payment 4 to claims 28 and 30 respectively. All of these limitations were contended in claims 5 21 and our findings as to those contentions are the same as we made in claims 1 6 and 21, supra. 7 The Appellants have not sustained their burden of showing that the Examiner 8 erred in rejecting claims 1-31 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over 9 Bogosian and Hambrecht. 10 11 CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 12 The Appellants have not sustained their burden of showing that the Examiner 13 erred in rejecting claims 1-31 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over the 14 prior art. 15 On this record, the Appellants are not entitled to a patent containing claims 1- 16 31. 19Page: Previous 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next
