Appeal No. 97-0695
Application No. 08/273,466
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a method of
fabricating handles. Claims 3 and 7 are representative of the
subject matter on appeal and a copy of those claims, as they
appear in the appendix of the appellants' brief, is attached
to this decision.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner as evidence of obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are:
Ager 2,510,490 June
6, 1950
Janssen 4,856,136 Aug. 15,
1989
Claims 3 through 8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
second paragraph, as indefinite for failing to particularly
point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the
appellants regard as their invention.
Claims 3, 7 and 8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Janssen.
