Appeal No. 98-0459
Application 08/658,719
addresses a contact lens storage compartment as a structural
entity which comprises at least one additional storage
compartment exterior or outside of its main storage body
compartment, which main storage body compartment is coverable by
the hinged top cover. This claimed contact lens storage
compartment is, of course, clearly not simply two physically
separate and distinct structural entities, one a storage body
compartment and another a distinct additional storage
compartment.3
We turn now to the teachings of Jessen, Cuppari, and Nathan,
applied to claim 1.
Cuppari teaches two pairs of contact lens carriers or
storage compartments 36, 38, 40, and 42, but these contact lens
storage compartments are all interior of the main storage body
compartment under the hinged and mirrored lid or cover 18.
Jessen teaches a temporary storage contact lens cleaning kit
that includes one pair of contact lens storage cups 20 and caps
3As an example, Cuppari and Nathan respectively evidence two separate
and distinct storage compartment entities, not a contact lens storage
compartment comprising a main storage body compartment and at least one
additional lens storage compartment exterior to the main storage compartment,
as set forth in claim 1.
