Appeal 2007-3317
Application 10/681,826
1 plurality of individual webs of equal width provides means to economically
2 manufacture the tubular bag. The Examiner concludes that it would have
3 been obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art, at the time of the
4 invention, to have modified the Pannekeet method by incorporating the step
5 of slitting a web sheet of packing material into a plurality of strips of equal
6 width for economically manufacturing tubular bags.

8 Appellant contends that Kurth relates to web stock utilized to form
9 tubular bags not foil strips which are connected to netting material which
10 forms bags. Appellant further argues that Kurth teaches nothing about foil
11 strip overlays for netting bags.
12 ISSUES
13 Whether Appellant has shown that the Examiner erred in holding that
14 it would have been obvious to modify the method disclosed by Pannekeet
15 such that the method for manufacturing bag packages includes the step of
16 supplying at least two foil strips in a coupled manner from one foil stock.
