Appeal No. 96-2189
Application 07/969,731
LED indicators that have a first and second state as recited
in Appellants' claims 1, 2 and 4 through 8. In regard to the
rejection of claims 3 and 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over the acknowledged prior art or Matsko in view
of Yalla in further view of either Tubbs, McLaughlin or Cheng,
we fail to find that these references suggest the desirability
of the Examiner's proposed modification as well.
In regard to the Examiner's rejection of claim 10 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over the acknowledged
prior art or Matsko in view of Yalla, Appellants argue that
Matsko or Yalla, either alone or in combination, fail to teach
a front panel have a first switch means for adjusting
selectable parameter used by a trip means and a second switch
means for testing the trip means, with the first switch means
being a first identifiable color and the second switch mans
being a second, different identifying color. Appellant's
claim 10 recites:
a front panel having first switch means thereon for
adjusting said selectable parameters and second
switch means for testing said trip means, said first
switch means being a first identifiable color and
said second switch means being a second, different
identifying color.
