Appeal No. 97-1440
Application 08/187,838
described as having a body portion formed from a plurality of
laminates that are "relatively permanently bonded" to each other
over a majority of the body portion, and as including adhesive
closure means for attaching the first end of the bracelet to the
second end thereof in an operative relationship with a person or
an object to be identified. The adhesive closure means of the
bracelet is then described as including a movable cover means
integrally formed from, and constituting a portion of, one or
more of the laminates. The cover means is said to be provided
with a non-adhesive coating means such as a non-bonding coating
layer thereon, which layer confronts the adhesive means on the
bracelet prior to movement of the cover means away from the
adhesive means when desired. The non-adhesive, non-bonding
coating layer is said to help
insure that the cover will indeed remain
moveable from the adhesive, even after the
remaining portions of the laminates and
adhesive have been permanently bonded
together (specification, page 7).
Throughout the prosecution of this application
appellant has maintained that the release layer (C) of Ohno is
not a bracelet laminate permanently bonded to any of the parts
