          Appeal No. 96-0405                                                          
          Application No. 08/178,668                                                  

          examiner.  As a consequence of our review, we make the                      
          determination which follows.                                                


               We reverse the examiner’s rejection of claims 23 through               
          30 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                   


               Claim 23 is drawn to a portable display device for                     
          displaying educational or informational material comprising,                
          inter alia, three panels, each side panel separated from the                
          center panel by a score line to permit relative movement                    
          between adjacent panels, each score line extends through an                 
          inner corrugated portion to form a flexible hinge between                   
          adjacent panels along the score lines, the width of each side               
          panel being equal to one-half the width of the center panel to              
          permit folding of the side panels in substantially co-planar                
          relationship relative to each other and in substantial                      
          parallel relationship to the center panel to form a                         
          substantially flat, rigid, configuration such that adjacent                 


          one skilled in the art would reasonably have been expected to               
          draw from the disclosure.  See In re Preda, 401 F.2d 825, 826,              
          159 USPQ 342, 344 (CCPA 1968).
