Hills et al. Patent No. 4,713,769 Dec. 15, 1987
(Hills)
The Rejection on Appeal
Claims 10-12 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, as being based on new matter added to the disclosure
subsequent to the filing of the application. We regard the
rejection as being for lack of adequate written description in
the specification as is required by § 112, first paragraph.
Claims 10-12 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph, as failing to particularly point out what the
appellant regard as her invention.
Claims 10-12 also stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Nibby and Hills.
