Appeal No. 95-3998
Application 07/914,904
Inc. v. Garlock, Inc., 721 F.2d 1540, 1548, 220 USPQ 303, 309
(Fed. Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 851 (1984).
On page 13 of the brief, Appellants argue that
independent claim 1 defines a portable bar code scanner having
a keyboard oriented so as to allow the keys to be individually
engagable by the thumb or fingers of the hand holding the
housing. Appellants further argue that such a scanner
apparatus is not shown or suggested by any of the references
applied by the Examiner. On page 14 of the brief Appellants
argue that the only other independent claim, claim 13, on
appeal defines a portable bar code scanner having all of the
features set forth in independent claim 1 and that for reasons
set forth with respect to claim 1, the rejection of
independent claim 13 should be reversed as well.
We note that Appellants’ claim 1 recites in part the
following:
a housing configured to be held in the palm of one
hand ...
a keyboard ... having a full numeric set of keys
