Appeal No. 96-3332
Application 08/321,025
Appellants’ invention pertains to a web of linerless
labels. As articulated in the specification (page 4), it is
“the primary object of the present invention to provide
optimized perforation lines in label webs, particularly
linerless label webs.” A basic understanding of the invention
can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, a copy of
which appears in the APPENDIX to the main brief (Paper No. 7).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the
documents listed below:
Mitchell et al. 5,354,588 Oct. 11,
1994
(Mitchell) (filed Jul. 13,
1992)
Cohausz 2,909,276 Sep. 18,
1980
(Germany)
The following rejections are before us for review.
Claims 1 through 4, 7 through 9, 24, and 25 stand
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
Mitchell.
