Appeal No. 1996-3536 Page 3
Application No. 08/509,006
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a tamperproof label
assembly. An understanding of the invention can be derived
from a reading of exemplary claim 1, which appears in the
appendix to the appellant's brief.
No prior art is relied upon by the examiner in the
rejection of the claims under appeal.
Claims 1 through 17 and 21 through 23 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as the specification,
as originally filed, does not provide support for the
invention as is now claimed.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejection, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper
No. 19, mailed May 20, 1996) for the examiner's complete
reasoning in support of the rejection, and to the appellant's
brief (Paper No. 18, filed April 19, 1996) and reply brief
