           8    A disposable, recloseable1 lid [Figs. 1-2 10] comprising:

          12                       a mounting recess [Fig. 2 46],                                             
          13                       an upper surface [Fig. 2 40],                                              

                                                                                                             
                1   In the claims, as reproduced in the Claims Appendix of the Appeal Brief,                  
                Dart uses the term "reclosable".  The specification uses the term                             
                "recloseable."  See, e.g., Specification 1 ¶ 0001.  We have reproduced the                    
                claims using the term found in the Specification.
