Appeal No. 96-2724
Application 08/343,201
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final
rejection of claims 4 through 10, which are all of the claims
remaining in the application. Claims 1 through 3 and 11
through 17 have been canceled. In a paper filed April 25, 1996
(Paper No. 31) appellant withdraws the appeal as to claims 8
and 9. Accordingly, the appeal as to those claims is dismissed
and only claims 4 through 7 and 10 remain for our consideration
in this appeal.
Appellant's invention is directed to a shoe having a
display assembly attached to an outer surface of the shoe upper.
Claim 10, the only independent claim on appeal, is illustrative
of the subject matter on appeal and a copy of claim 10, as it
appears in the Appendix to appellant's brief, is attached to this
decision.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner as evidence of obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are:
