Appeal No. 98-0430 Application 08/688,141 Before COHEN, ABRAMS and FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judges. COHEN, Administrative Patent Judge. DECISION ON APPEAL This is an appeal from the refusal of the examiner to allow claims 9 through 12, as amended subsequent to the final rejection. These claims constitute all of the claims remaining in the application. 2 Appellant’s invention pertains to a baseball or soft- ball pocket forming tool. An understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 9, a copy of which appears in APPENDIX A of the reply brief (Paper No. 15). 2Based upon the explicit statement in the answer (page 2) that claims 1 through 8 were canceled, it appears to us that the amendment canceling claims 2 through 4, attached to the main brief (Paper No. 13), was entered by the examiner, al- though no notation to that effect appears on the referenced amendment. 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
