                 affirmed the examiner's rejection of the appealed design claim                                                                         
                 under 35 U.S.C.

                          We have carefully considered the arguments raised by the                                                                      
                 appellant in the request for rehearing, however, those                                                                                 
                 arguments do not persuade us that our decision was in error in                                                                         
                 any respect.                                                                                                                           


                          In the request, the appellant lists six points believed                                                                       
                 to have been misapprehended or overlooked in rendering our                                                                             
                 decision and other grounds upon which rehearing is sought.  We                                                                         
                 will address each of these points in the order they are                                                                                
                 presented in the request.

                 misapprehended that the claim under appeal points out the                                                                              
                 bounds between infringing and noninfringing conduct with
