               MICHAEL P. TIERNEY, Administrative Patent Judges.                                           
               TORCZON, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                       

                                        DECISION ON APPEAL                                                 
                      The claims on appeal relate to a process for making a reinforced                     
               acoustically resistive layer.  The examiner has rejected all pending claims.                
               The appellant (Airbus) seeks review.  We affirm.                                            

                                              THE CLAIMS                                                   
                      Claims 18-38 are pending.  Airbus has not argued the patentability of                
               the claims separately so for the contested rejections we treat the claims as                
               standing or falling together based on representative claim 18.1  Although                   
                                                                                                          
               1 37 C.F.R. § 41.37(c)(1)(vii).
