See also In re Dilnot, 319 F.2d 188, 194 (CCPA 1963) (holding that a continuous operation is obvious in light of batch process). ... Appellants are reminded that merely reciting what a claim recites or making a general allegation of patentability is not a separate patentability argument. See Ex parte Belinne, No. 2009-004693, slip op. at 7-8 (BPAI Aug. 10, 2009) (informative). ... See also In re Venner, 262 F.2d 91, 95 (CCPA 1958) (holding that broadly providing an automatic or mechanical means to replace a manual activity which accomplished the same result is not sufficient to distinguish over the prior art.)
