Appeal No. 1998-0953
Application No. 08/467,084
As shown in Figure 9A, the adhesive 46 is in direct contact
with, not spaced from, low adhesion material 52. Canno also
fails to teach or suggest two adhesive seals
spaced from one another on the same panel. Accordingly, we
will not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of
independent claims 13 and 31.
Claims 3, 4, 6, 9 and 10, dependent on claim 1, claims
15, 18 and 19, dependent on claim 13, and claims 32 and 33,
dependent on claim 31, contain all of the limitations of their
respective independent claim. Therefore, we will also not
sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of these
claims.
The rejection of claims 5 and 14
We reverse the examiner’s rejection of claims 5 and 14
under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Carter is cited by the examiner (final rejection, pages 3
and 4) for its teaching of a fold line, i.e., weld seam 25,
between a first panel 14 and a flap 30 (see, Carter, page 3).
