Appeal No. 97-1835
Application 08/178,068
The examiner has rejected claims 1, 4 and 8 through
10 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by McClive. Ac-
cording to the examiner, McClive supports a finding that the
yieldable material disclosed therein inherently exhibits high
stiffness during normal operation and low stiffness during
impact.
The examiner has rejected claim 7 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as unpatentable over Smith in view of Mautner. Accord-
ing to the examiner, it would have been obvious to use screws
to mount the corner caps of Smith following the disclosure of
Mautner.
The examiner has rejected claims 13 and 14 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over McClive in view of Meyer.
McClive does not disclose that the housing therein is used as
a loudspeaker cabinet. The examiner has concluded that it
would
have been obvious to use the McClive enclosure as a loud-
speaker cabinet following the teaching of Meyer.
