claim remaining in the application.
Appellants’ invention pertains to a method of encasing a
meat product. An understanding of the invention can be
derived from a reading of claim 14, a copy of which appears in
the “APPENDIX” to the brief (Paper No. 15).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the
document specified below:
Meier 4,370,779 Feb. 01,
1983
The following rejection is before us for review.
Claim 14 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over Meier.
The full text of the examiner's rejection and response to
the argument presented by appellants appears in the answer
(Paper No. 16), while the complete statement of appellants’
argument can be found in the brief (Paper No. 15).
