## Opinion text

MARTIN, Judge
(dissenting).
Although I agree with the majority opinion that the rule of law in this court is one of resolving doubt in favor of the applicant, I do not find appellant’s case so strong here as to call that rule into play. For the reasons given by the examiner and the board, it is my view that the claimed method and apparatus for simultaneously controlling the parison wall thickness along its length and in its cross section are obvious in view of the references of record. I would affirm.
