Appeal No. 97-1023
Application 08/262,461
claim now stands allowed. Claims 3 and 4, the only other
claims remaining in the application, stand withdrawn from
consideration by the examiner as being drawn to a non-elected
species pursuant to 37 CFR 1.142(b). In light of the above,
only claims 5, 6, 14, and 15 are before us for review.
Appellant’s invention pertains to a vehicle child seat
and seat belt system therefor. An understanding of the
invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 14,
a copy of which appears in the “APPENDIX” to appellant’s
amended appeal brief (Paper No. 13).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the
documents listed below:
Mathis 3,620,569 Nov. 16, 1971
Dukatz et al. 5,135,285 Aug. 04, 1992
(Dukatz)
Harmon 5,161,855 Nov. 10, 1992
The following rejections are before us for review.
Claims 14, 15, and 5 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Harmon in view of Mathis.
