Appeal 2007-2577
Application 90/006,344
Claim 1 paints a
detailed picture of the
claimed apparatus. As an aid
to understanding the
rejection, the following table
sets forth how the examiner
applies the Lin patent to
claim 1. The reference
numbers come from Lin
FIG. 3 (right), which shows
an exploded view of Lin's
rope-light connector. Since
some of the examiner's
reference numerals do not
align precisely with FIG. 3 or
are ambiguous because Lin
uses the same numerals for
different elements, we slightly refine the references where appropriate.
