b) claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated
by Kaye;
c) claims 1 through 3, 5, 7 and 8 under 35 U.S.C. §
102(e) as being anticipated by Petruccelli;

and the examiner with regard to the merits of these
rejections.
The 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, rejection rests on
the examiner’s determination that the term “standard” as used
to define the configuration of a golf club head in claim 1, a
