to the final rejection. These claims constitute all of the2
claims remaining in the application.
Appellant’s invention pertains to a food dispenser gun
and to a method of dispensing an extrudable food product. An
understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading
of exemplary claims 1 and 26, copies of which appear in
EXHIBIT “A1" appended to the RESPONSE TO ORDER REMANDING TO
EXAMINER (Paper No. 19).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the
documents listed below:
Hutton 1,886,022 Nov. 1, 1932
Loucony 2,928,533 Mar. 15, 1960
Chang 4,081,112 Mar. 28, 1978
Summons et al 4,899,909 Feb. 13, 1990
(Summons)
Olsson 3 156,022 Sep. 11, 1956
2 An amendment after final rejection (Paper No. 6) was not entered (Paper No. 8),
while a later amendment (Paper No. 12) was entered, as apparently acknowledged in
paragraph 2 of the answer (Paper 14).
3 Our understanding of this document is derived from a reading of a translation
thereof prepared in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. A copy of the
translation is appended to this opinion. It is noted that the examiner has referred to
this document by the name “Handels”. However, as the translation reveals, the named
inventor is Olsson. Simply for consistency with the usage in the record, we shall
continue reference to this document by the name Handels.
