                                                        DECISION ON APPEAL                                                                    
                                 This is an appeal from the final rejection of the                                                            
                following design claim:                                                                                                       
                                 The ornamental design for an AUTOMOBILE as                                                                   
                                 shown and described.                                                                                         


                                 As described in the specification (page 2), Figures 1                                                        
                through 7 correspond to perspective right side, perspective right                                                             
                side,   rear, perspective left side, front, rear, and top views,2                                                                                                                    
                respectively, of the claimed automobile design.                                                                               


                                 As evidence, the examiner has applied the document                                                           
                specified below:                                                                                                              
                Autocar & Motor, “BMW carves a new benchmark,” November 3, 1993,                                                              
                pages 36, 37.                                                                                                                 


                                 The following rejection is the sole rejection before us                                                      
                for review.                                                                                                                   


                         2The description of Figure 2 in the specification is                                                                 
                inconsistent with the portrayal of the automobile in Figure 2.                                                                
                The showing in Figure 2 is not a right side perspective view, but                                                             
                simply a right side view.  The description in the brief (page 2)                                                              
                correctly describes Figure 2 as a right side view.                                                                            
                                                                      2
