Appeal No. 98-0059
Application No. 08/540,548
constituted all of the claims of record in the application. 2
An amendment after the final rejection was entered (Paper No.
10), which alleviated a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, but did not overcome the standing rejection of all
pending claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
The appellant's invention is directed to a roof flashing
strip. The subject matter before us on appeal is illustrated
by reference to claim 1, which reads as follows:
1. A prefabricated flashing strip system for
weatherproofing intersection of upright wall and a shingled
roof, the system comprising:
a plurality of partially overlapping adjacently disposed
flashing cards, each of the plurality of partially overlapping
adjacently disposed flashing cards having a substantially
vertical portion and a substantially horizontal portion.
a sealing, watertight adhesive interposed between
adjacent flashing cards for sealably mounting the vertical
portion of each of the plurality of partially overlapping
adjacently disposed flashing cards to the vertical portion of
an adjacent flashing card, forming a substantially watertight
seal therebetween; and
wherein a shingle is slidably seated between the
substantially horizontal portion of each of the plurality of
partially overlapping adjacently disposed flashing cards.
2Paper No. 8, the final rejection, erroneously
indicated that claim 6 was still of record, although it had
been canceled in the amendment designated as Paper No. 7.
