          Appeal No. 98-1900                                                          
          Application D-07/715,260                                                    



               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          the only claim pending:                                                     


               -- The ornamental design for A COMPUTER DISPLAY                        
               as shown and described. --                                             

               The claim was amended to read as such in an amendment                  
          filed December 19, 1996 (Paper No. 10).  As originally filed,               
          the claim read as follows:                                                  
               -- The ornamental design for an EDGE TRIM ICON FOR A                   
               COMPUTER DISPLAY OR THE LIKE as shown and                              
          described. --                                                               

               There are no references relied on by the examiner.                     
               The sole claim on appeal stands rejected under 35 U.S.C.               
          § 112, first paragraph, as relying on an inadequate written                 
          description, the examiner contending that the proposed drawing              
          amendment (filed May 24, 1993) of a rectangular display screen              
          in broken lines around the previously depicted icon                         
          constitutes new matter as there is inadequate support for a                 
          computer display screen in the application as originally                    
          filed.                                                                      


                                          2
