Roychoudhury, Appellants.

No. 87-1337.

United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.

Nov. 10, 1987.

Before RICH, EDWARD S. SMITH, and NIES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

DECISION

1

Gary W. Fout, Abraham R. Mishkin, and Rathindra N. Roychoudhury appeal from the decision of the United States Patent and Trademark Office Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, affirming the final rejection of claims 2, 3, 7-14, and 16-26 under 35 U.S.C. Sec. 103 (1982) as obvious over the prior art. Those claims represent all the claims remaining in the continuation application, Ser. No. 383,202, at issue. We affirm.

OPINION

2

Upon consideration of each of the appellants' arguments, we conclude that the appellants have failed to establish any error in the board's obviousness analysis. Accordingly, we affirm on the basis of the board's opinion.
