Appeal No. 95-4994 Page 2
Application No. 08/133,294
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a play-head for a
hockey stick. Claim 1 is representative of the subject matter on
appeal and a copy of claim 1 is attached to this decision.
The prior art reference of record relied upon by the
examiner as evidence of anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is:
White, Sr. 3,529,825 Sept. 22, 1970
(White)
Claims 1, 2 and 8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as
being anticipated by White.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by
the examiner and the appellant regarding the § 102(b) rejection,
we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper No. 10, mailed
February 13, 1995) and the examiner's response to the reply brief
(Paper No. 12, mailed June 29, 1995) for the examiner's complete
reasoning in support of the rejection, and to the appellant's
brief (Paper No. 9, filed October 12, 1994) and reply brief
(Paper No. 11, filed March 13, 1995) for the appellant's
arguments thereagainst.
