          Appeal No. 95-2346                                                          
          Application 08/147,093                                                      


          insert material sheet (4) is placed in the envelope sheet and               
          adhesive tape (12a, 12b) is placed over the ends of the                     
          envelope (col. 4, lines 21-55).                                             
               None of the four references discussed above teaches or                 
          suggests a method of forming a novelty card comprising the                  
          steps  of forming a strip of printable material having at                   
          least a front                                                               




          panel, a rear panel and an insert panel within a continuous                 
          web of raw material for sequential processing and printing on               
          the formed strip of the web.  Therefore, even if there were                 
          some motivation in the art for combining the teachings of Dean              
          and Bellis with the teaching of either Cannistra or                         
          Malachowski, all of the claimed limitations of claim 1 are not              
          taught or suggested by the applied references.                              
               Smith teaches a method of mounting a slide or                          
          transparency using a mount composed of a pair of flap members               
          (12, 13) and an insert (20) having opposite sides thereof                   
          coated with adhesive (col. 3, lines 9-62).                                  
               The examiner rejects claims 12 and 16 as being                         
                                          9
