Appeal No. 96-2771
Application 08/239,334
protection is provided for the hinge section when the
nailing fin is in place.
In view of this disclosure, we are of the opinion that one
of ordinary skill in the art would have been taught by Kessler
that the hinge or fold line 16 should remain positioned opposite
flange 19 so that hinge or fold line 16 would be protected when
the nail fin is in place, which teaches away from the
modification proposed by the examiner.
The decision of the examiner rejecting claim 13 under 35
USC § 103 is reversed.
