Appeal No. 97-2451 Page 2
Application No. 08/260,635
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a hot tack tester. A
copy of claims 1 and 2 appears in the appendix to the appellant's
brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
DTC Hot Tach Tester Operation Instructions Prior to 11/1991
Topwave DTC Hot Tach Tester Brochure Prior to 11/1991
Claims 1 and 2 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over DTC Hot Tach Tester Operation Instructions in
view of Topwave DTC Hot Tach Tester Brochure.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by
the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejection, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper No.
14, mailed November 1, 1996) and the supplemental examiner's
answer (Paper No. 16, mailed January 14, 1997) for the examiner's
complete reasoning in support of the rejection, and to the
appellant's brief (Paper No. 13, filed October 7, 1996) and reply
