          Appeal No. 1998-0490                                                        
          Application 08/543,057                                                      


          for a vehicle window, to a sunshield, and to a method of                    
          manufacturing a sunshield for an automobile windshield.  An                 
          understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading                
          of exemplary claims 1, 9, and 14, copies of which appear in                 
          the APPENDIX OF CLAIMS (main brief, Paper No. 13).                          

               As evidence of anticipation and obviousness, the examiner              
          has applied the documents listed below:                                     


          Romano              4,083,395                     Apr. 11, 1978             
          Moll                     4,947,920                     Aug. 14,             
          1990                                                                        
          Kim                      5,267,599                     Dec.  7,             
          1993                                                                        


               The following rejections are before us for review.                     


               Claims 1 and 14 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)                
          as being clearly anticipated by Moll.                                       


               Claims 4, 9, and 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                   
          103(a) as being unpatentable over Moll.                                     



                                          2
