Appeal No. 97-3184
Application 29/048,245
The references relied upon by the examiner are:
Mongeon 4,386,609 June 7, 1983
Walen Des. 343,247 Jan. 11, 1994
Goris Des. 362,065 Sep. 5, 1995
The Hall Blade and Bur Book, “Stryker Sagittal Saw Blade”
(Item 5052-300)(Zimmer) 1992. (Hall)
The claim stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being
unpatentable over Goris in view of Walen, Mongeon and Hall. This
rejection is explained on page 3 of the answer.
Reference is made to pages 2-6 of the brief and pages 4-11
of the answer for the arguments of the appellants and examiner in
support of their respective positions.
OPINION
Having carefully considered the respective positions
advanced by the appellants in the brief and the examiner in the
answer, it is our conclusion that the references relied on by the
examiner fail to establish the obviousness of the design claim on
appeal within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103.
