Appeal No. 97-0751
Application 08/380,622
providing an extension of the liner beyond the adhesively coated
sheet as taught by Mack. Absent the appellants own teachings, we
can think of no reason why one of ordinary skill in this art
would modify the device of Carpenter in such a manner so as to
retain the tab 13 (which already facilitates liner removal) and
to additionally incorporate an extension of the liner beyond the
adhesively coated base as taught by Mack.
The decision of the examiner to reject 6-10 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 based on the combined teachings of Carpenter and Mack is
reversed.
