Appeal No. 95-4486 Page 2
Application No. 08/158,713
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a prepackaged fluid-
damping article for elastomeric mounts. An understanding of the
invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 6,
which appears in the appendix to the appellants' brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Schubert 4,742,998 May 10, 1988
Kato et al. (Kato) 4,981,286 Jan. 1, 1991
Hoying et al. (Hoying) 4,991,826 Feb. 12, 1991
Claims 6 through 12 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly
point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the
appellants regard as the invention.
Claim 6 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being
anticipated by Kato.
Claims 7, 8, 11 and 12 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Kato in view of Hoying.
