          Application 08/151,454                                                      


          application.  Subsequent to the appeal, the examiner has                    
          indicated that claims                                                       


          11 and 13 are allowed (Answer, page 1).  Accordingly, the                   
          claims on appeal before us are claims 1-6, 10, 12, 14-25 and                
          29.                                                                         
               According to appellant, the invention is directed to a                 
          transfer medium using a specially designed transfer sheet to                
          receive inkjet ink images (Brief, page 2).  Claim 1 is                      
          illustrative of the subject matter on appeal and is reproduced              
          below:                                                                      
               1.  A transfer sheet for transferring inkjet ink images                
          and text to substrates that will not generally fit within                   
          inkjet printing machinery, said transfer sheet comprising:                  
               a substrate layer;                                                     
               a polymer release layer disposed over said substrate                   
          layer;                                                                      
               a carrier layer disposed over said polymer release layer               
          and having greater cohesion than adhesion to said polymer                   
          release layer, said carrier layer being removable from said                 
          release and substrate layers and generally being ink-                       
          impermeable; and                                                            
               an ink receiving layer disposed over said carrier layer                
          for receiving inkjet inks, said ink receiving layer being                   
          adhered to said carrier layer.                                              

                                          2
