Appeal No. 95-4120
Application No. 07/943,901
of Merrill. Claims 4, 5, and 10-15 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Loggins.
We cannot sustain the stated rejections.
The subject matter on appeal is directed to a sheet
material to be mounted on a substrate (e.g., a wall) for
displaying an article (e.g., a greeting card or a photograph),
comprising a flexible film backing having a first
repositionable adhesive on one surface and a second
repositionable adhesive on the other surface. The adhesion
level provided by the first repositionable adhesive is at
least about 50 gram/cm width higher than that provided by the
second repositionable adhesive when tested in accordance with
a referenced test method (Test Method A as described in the
specification at page 8, lines 10-37) and the second
repositionable adhesive coating provides an adhesion level of
about 30 to about 55 gram/cm width under the same test. When
the sheet material is adhered to a wall by means of the first
repositionable adhesive coating, the greeting card or
photograph can be repositioned thereon or removed therefrom
without removing the sheet from the wall.
