Appeal No. 97-4252 Page 3
Application No. 08/226,520
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a display apparatus.
A copy of the claims under appeal appears in the appendix to
the appellant's brief.
Claims 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 15 and 17 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as failing to adequately
teach how to make and/or use the invention, i.e., failing to
provide an enabling disclosure.
Claims 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 15 and 17 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, as being indefinite for
failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the
subject matter which the appellant regards as the invention.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the final rejection (Paper
No. 12, mailed July 11, 1996) and the supplemental examiner's
answer (Paper No. 26, mailed July 28, 1998) for the examiner's
complete reasoning in support of the rejections, and to the
