Appeal No. 1997-3706 Application 08/406,108 the Saari shoulder strap for carrying an umbrella (answer, page 5). However, as noted in the above discussion of rejection (2), even though we consider that it would have been obvious to put the Saari strap to such use, claim 1 still distinguishes over Saari in other respects, which are not taught by Girton, Torres and/or Vogel. We accordingly will not sustain rejection (3). 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
