Appeal No. 96-3610
Application 08/300,567
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 23
and 24 and from the refusal of the examiner to allow claims 25
through 27, as amended (Paper No. 16) subsequent to a final
rejection (Paper No. 9). Claims 19 and 22, the only other claims
remaining in the application, stand allowed.
Appellant’s invention pertains to an inflatable cushion
for use in packaging items in a box. An understanding of the
invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 23, a
copy of which appears in the APPENDIX to appellant’s amended
brief (Paper No. 23).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied
the documents listed below:
Ericson 3,332,415 Jul. 25, 1967
Giovanni 2 637,711 Sep., 1966

2The information specified here with respect to this
document is taken from the examiner’s “NOTICE OF REFERENCES
CITED” form dated June 26, 1995, an attachment to Paper No. 9.
