Appeal No. 97-1841
Application 08/315,052
Furthermore, the appellant states that the optical element in his
invention is provided to reflect light in a direction back toward
the lamp. This is precisely the disclosure of Palmquist which
provides his optical element to reflect light back to the eyes of
the driver of the automobile that is illuminating the sign.
For the foregoing reasons, the rejection of the claim on
appeal has been affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
