facie obvious to one of ordinary skill. Ristuccia shows a
business card holder
that is clearly manufactured to fit in one of the holding
devices disclosed by Finger or Hanson. Furthermore, the
business card holder of Ristuccia clearly has a rectangular
dimension which is placed inward parallel to the surface of
the business sheet by an amount approximately equal to the
thickness of the business card.
Finally, Ristuccia suggests several different arrangements to
attach the business card to his business card holder. One
arrangement in Figure 7 even discloses holes and a slot. Both
McCabe and Goldman also show the holes to attach a sheet of
material to another sheet. In fact, Goldman shows the hole in
a corner of a recess in the sheet for attaching another sheet
thereto. In view of these teachings, it would have been prima
facie obvious to attach business cards to the Ristuccia
business card holder using the holes and slots taught by
either Goldman or McCabe and to place these card holders into
a mounting device as shown by Finger or Hanson. With respect
