Appeal No. 97-2999 Page 3
Application No. 08/338,714
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to ball jointed links.
An understanding of the invention can be derived from a
reading of exemplary claims 23, 33 and 36, which appear in the
appendix to the appellant's brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner as evidence of obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are:
Haver 2,329,369 Sep. 14,
1943
Kujawski 2,439,009 Apr. 6,
1948
Wagenknecht 4,941,481 July 17,
1990
Claims 33 and 35 through 40 stand rejected under 35
U.S.C.
§ 112, second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to
particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter
which the appellant regards as the invention.
Claims 23 through 25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Kujawski in view of Haver.
