Appeal No. 97-0747
Application 08/443,258
8). As indicated above, claim 26 does not actually require the cuffs to be affixed to the sleeves of the
gown via the single ply main body portion. Nor does claim 26 in any way exclude Neckerman’s two-
ply cuff back section 16 or the affixation of Neckerman's cuffs to the sleeves of the gown via their two-
ply back sections. Thus, the appellants’ position on appeal is not well taken with respect to
representative claim 26.
Accordingly, we shall sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claim 26, as well as the
standing 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejections of claims 15 through 21, 23 through 25 and 27 which stand or fall
therewith.
The decision of the examiner is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may
be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
