Appeal No. 2000-0500
Application No. 09/006,137
Appellants' invention relates to a method of using
hunting accessories and, more particularly, to a method of
hanging hunting accessories carried in a vest-type accessory-
holding apparatus from a tree, as generally depicted in Figure
2 of the application. Independent claim 14 and claim 15,
which depends therefrom, are on appeal and a copy of those
claims may be found in the Appendix to appellants' brief.
The sole prior art reference of record relied upon by the
examiner is:
Williams et al. (Williams) 5,738,046 Apr. 14,
1998 (filed Jul. 22,
1996)
Claims 14 and 15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)
as anticipated by Williams.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and appellants regarding the above-noted
rejection, we refer to the examiner's answer (Paper No. 11,
mailed July 28, 1999) and to appellants' brief (Paper No. 10,
filed June 28, 1999) for a full exposition thereof.
