BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a hanging rack for
printed circuit panels. Claim 1 is representative of the subject
matter on appeal and a copy of claim 1, as it appears in the
appendix to the appellant's brief, is attached to this decision.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Shave et al. 1,248,732 Dec. 4, 1917
(Shave)
Husted et al. 4,502,601 Mar. 5, 1985
(Husted)
Claims 1 through 9 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
appellant regards as the invention.
Claims 1 through 6 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)
as being anticipated by Husted.
Claim 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Husted in view of Shave.
