Appeal No. 98-0430 Application 08/688,141 the examiner. As a consequence of our review, we make the determinations which follow. The rejections based upon Walker and Schnase We reverse the rejection of claims 9 through 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Walker in view of Schnase. Initially, we note that appellant’s independent claim 9 is drawn to a baseball or softball glove pocket form- ing tool made from a material selected from wood, plastic and metal and com- prising, inter alia, an enlarged head portion having an essen- tially spherical surface with a radius from about 1 to 2 inches, with the enlarged head portion of the tool being intended to be pounded into a baseball or softball glove. 5Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
