Appeal No. 96-4010
Application 29/021,122
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final
rejection of the following design claim:
The ornamental design for a CORN SAVER SHIELD
as shown and described.
As explained in appellant's originally filed design
specification, the invention for which design patent protection
is sought is a "new, original and ornamental design for a CORN
SAVER SHIELD." A first embodiment of this invention is found in
Figures 1 through 6 of the drawings and a visually different
second embodiment is seen in Figures 7 through 12. In
appellant's response (Paper No. 3, filed June 27, 1994) to the
examiner's request for information (Paper No. 2), it was
explained that the invention herein is directed to a design for a
corn saver shield which is used on a corn header, such as that
shown in U.S. Patent No. 3,241,299 to R. L. Sutton. Apparently,
similar to the gathering sheets (21) in Sutton and, more
particularly, the ridges or shields designated (22), (23) and
(24) therein, appellant's corn saver shield is to be mounted
