Appeal No. 97-1872
Application 08/371,620
not disclosed or suggested by Instance ‘043 or Instance ‘686
because no portion of the folded label panels (elements 10,
12, 14, 16 of Instance ‘043; elements 6, 8, 10, 12 of Instance
‘686) of either reference can be reasonably interpreted as
extending past the support web (element 18 of Instance ‘043;
element 26 of Instance ‘686) and over the release material
(element 37 of Instance ‘043; element 73 of Instance ‘686) so
as to be releasably adhered thereto.
Independent claims 31 and 35 in effect call for folded
label portions adhered to a release material, and laminar
material extending past the folded label portions thereby to
form an end portion which is directly adhered to the release
material. This limitation is not disclosed or suggested by
either of the applied references because no portion of the
laminar material (element 30 of Instance ‘043; element 28 of
Instance ‘686) extends past and is adhered to the release
material (element 37 of Instance ‘043; element 73 of Instance
‘686). Rather, the laminar material of the applied references
is coextensive with and directly attached to the support web
(element 18 of Instance ‘043; element 26 of Instance ‘686),
which is not a “release material” as that term is used herein.
