Appeal No. 98-2771
Application 08/428,863
indicated that claims 17 through 19 now stand objected to and
would be allowable if rewritten in independent form. In
addition, it has
been noted on page 2 of the examiner’s answer that the
rejection
of claims 7 and 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, has
been withdrawn. Accordingly, only the examiner’s prior art
rejections of claims 1 through 16 and 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103
remain for our consideration on appeal.
Appellant’s invention is directed to a resilient,

exercise and jumping. Independent claims 1 and 14 are
representative of the subject matter on appeal and a copy of
those claims, as they appear in the Appendix to appellant’s
brief, is attached to this decision.
The prior art references relied upon by the examiner in
rejecting the appealed claims are:
