Appeal No. 97-3987 Page 2
Application No. 08/387,047
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a thermochromic toy
vehicle playset having a robot arm detailer. An understanding of
the invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claims
1, 5 and 8, which appear in the appendix to the appellants'
brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Hippely et al. 4,961,716 Oct. 9, 1990
(Hippely)
Langer 2 1,578,242 Nov. 6, 1962
(Germany)
Goldfarb 2,092,463 Aug. 18, 1982
(United Kingdom)
Claim 4 stands 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 appellants
regard as the invention.
2In determining the teachings of Langer, we will rely on
the translation provided by the PTO. A copy of the translation
is attached for the appellants' convenience.
