Application No. 08/164,830
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1-
12. Claims 13-24, the other claims remaining in the present
application, stand withdrawn from consideration. Claim 1 is
illustrative:2
1. A method of printing and assembling multi-sheet
carbonless forms from a plurality of cut sheets comprising the
steps of, for each form:
a) applying a first strip of an adhesive to a lower
surface of a first sheet along and substantially parallel to a
marginal edge of said first sheet and a second strip of the
adhesive to an upper surface of a second sheet along and
substantially parallel to a marginal edge of said second
sheet, the first and second strips of adhesive being in
substantially vertical alignment when said first and second
sheets are in overlying relationship;
b) providing at least one intermediate sheet, said
intermediate sheet having a plurality of apertures therein
along and substantially parallel to a marginal edge of said
intermediate sheet;
c) after steps a) and b), passing said first, second and
said at least one intermediate sheet through a non-impact
printer; then
d) collating said first, second and at least one
intermediate sheet in overlying relationship so as to provide
an individual collated form with the first and second adhesive
2Reproduced claim 1 was submitted by appellant in Amend-
ment D (Paper No. 23) in response to a new ground of rejection
in the Examiner's Answer. The examiner noted "okay to enter"
on the amendment, but the amendment has not been officially
entered in the record. We trust that the examiner will have
Amendment D entered upon return of this application to the
examiner.
