Appeal 2007-3257
Application 10/046,632
CONCLUSION OF LAW
On the record before us, Appellant has failed to show that the
Examiner has erred in rejecting the claims or the rejection is not supported
by a legally sufficient basis for holding that the combined teachings of the
references would have suggested to the skilled artisan all of the recited
method steps. Therefore, we sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims
1-3 and 9-12 over Elder and Kleijn, of claims 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 14, 16, and 17
over Elder, Kleijn, and Härmä, and of claims 6 and 15 over Elder, Kleijn,
Härmä, and Oppenheim.
DECISION
The decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-17 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with
this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
