          Appeal No. 95-4047                                                           
          Application 07/931,206                                                       


          exact terms as to enable a person of ordinary skill in the art               
          to make and use the invention, and/or that the claims fail to                
          particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter               
          which appellants regard as the invention.                                    
                                       OPINION                                         
               We have carefully considered all of the arguments                       
          advanced by appellants and the examiner and agree with                       
          appellants that the aforementioned rejection under 35 U.S.C.                 
          § 103 is not well founded.  Accordingly, we do not sustain                   
          this rejection.  Nor do we sustain the rejection under 35                    
          U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph.  We sustain the rejection under               
          35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, only as to claims 4 and 5.                
                           Rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103                             
               Vargas discloses a temporary window comprised of at least               
          two layers of transparent polymeric film held together by a                  
          thin layer of transparent adhesive (col. 1, lines 44-48).  At                
          least one of the outer layers is perforated or precut such                   
          that strips or sections of that layer can be peeled off,                     
          thereby exposing adhesive which is used to bond the temporary                
          window to a window frame such as that of an automobile (col.                 


                                           3
