Appeal No. 97-0056 Page 3
Application No. 07/791,156
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a cellular window
covering comprising a plurality of cells formed of textile
material secured together by spaced lines of adhesive. The
textile material is treated with an anti-fray composition on
discrete first portions thereof and is treated with an
adhesive in second discrete portions thereof. An
understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading
of claims 57 through 60, which appear in the appendix to the
appellants' brief.
The prior art reference of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:
Duval 4,698,276 Oct. 6, 1987
Claims 57 through 60 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Duval.
The complete text of the examiner's rejections and
response to the argument presented by the appellants appears
in the answer (Paper No. 28, mailed March 5, 1996), while the
complete statement of the appellants' argument can be found in
the brief (Paper No. 27, filed November 6, 1995).
