Appeal No. 96-3210
Application 29/025,638
with regard to the claimed design. The reasons we have reached
this conclusion coincide, in essence, with those set forth by the
appellants on pages 5 through 8 of the Brief. In particular, it
is our opinion that the mere fact that some curves and a rounded
corner are present in the Winston hood would not, in our view,
have suggested to a designer of ordinary skill in the articles
involved that the basic design of Weaver be altered in the manner
proposed by the examiner.
This being the case, we will not sustain the rejection, and
the decision of the examiner is reversed.
