of the bag or pouch. Claim 20 does not recite a “writing
area,” let alone a “writing area” that is formed integral
with and from the bag by the same sealing technique as the
enclosure so that the “writing area” is on the bag. Claim
20 also does not include any limitation that excludes, or
is otherwise inconsistent with, a bottom seal such as the
seal 17 disclosed by Graham.
The appellants additionally contend that Graham does
not disclose “the simplified releasably sealed seam bag
access of Claim 20” (main brief, page 10) or “a bag access
which permits attachment to a breastpump as in the present
invention” (main brief, page 10).
Here again, such arguments are unpersuasive because
they are not commensurate with the actual scope of claim
20. Simply put, claim 20 does not recite a releasably
sealed seam bag access or a bag access that permits
attachment to a breast pump.
Finally, the appellants submit that the subject matter
recited in claim 20 is not anticipated because Graham fails
to disclose “using a bag access portion of the enclosure
itself in first and second positions to respectively seal
or permit access to the bag” (reply brief, page 4) for the
introduction of breast milk.
