Appeal No. 96-2890 Application 08/318,781 The references relied upon by the examiner to support the final rejection are: Scott 4,883,278 Nov. 28, 1989 THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHESS, Time, February 4, 1952, page 15 (Time). THE REJECTIONS Claims 11 and 22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as being based upon a specification which fails to provide support for the invention as now claimed.2 Claims 11 and 22 also stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, as failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the appellant regards as the invention.2 Claims 11 and 22 further stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Scott in view of Time. The rejections are explained in the Examiner's Answer and in Paper No. 8. The opposing viewpoints of the appellant are set forth in the Brief and the Reply Brief. 2This is a new rejection made for the first time in the Examiner’s Answer. 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
