Appeal No. 96-3002
Application 08/164,295
container of Coleman with legs and upwardly extending
projections, in order to allow it to be stacked. Such
modification of the Coleman container would not involve
impermissible hindsight or “using Applicant’s own disclosure as a
guide for combining the references” (reply brief, page 4), but
rather would be readily suggested by Ata’s disclosure (supra) of
the advantages to be gained by stacking containers.
Accordingly, the rejection of claims 1 and 15 will be
sustained.
