Appeal No. 95-3406
Application 07/940,016
thereof, as it appears in the appendix to the appellant’s brief,
has been appended to this decision.
The reference of record relied upon by the examiner in
rejections of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) and under
35 U.S.C. § 103 is:
Stiso (EPA) 0 183 442 June 4, 1986
Claims 6 and 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as
being anticipated by Stiso.
Claims 8 and 9 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Stiso. The examiner has taken the position
that it would have been obvious to one having ordinary skill in
the art to modify the casing of Stiso to include a means for
holding the casing for optimum handling thereof by the user, as
well as to include an indication as to where to read test results
thereof.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by
the examiner and the appellant, we refer to pages 4 through 6 of
the examiner's answer and to pages 3 through 5 of the appellant’s
brief for the full exposition thereof.
