This application is remanded to the examiner for
consideration of conducting a further search of the claimed
subject matter.
Since the claimed subject matter is directed to providing
a foot orthosis that is easily attached to and detached from a
person's foot and to effectively hold the orthosis on the
person's foot, the examiner should consider other fields of
search as set forth below.
The examiner's field of search as indicated on the
filewrapper was limited to Class 602, SURGERY. Consideration
should be given to searching the following: Class 24, BUCKLES,
BUTTONS, CLASPS, ETC., especially Subclasses 712+, DRAWSTRING,
LACED-FASTENER, OR SEPARATE ESSENTIAL COOPERATING DEVICE
THEREFOR, and Class 36, BOOTS, SHOES, AND LEGGINGS, especially
Subclasses 113+, OCCUPATIONAL OR ATHLETIC SHOE, and 50.1+,
CLOSURE. These classes and subclasses appear to be reasonably
pertinent to the above-noted problems addressed by the
appellant's invention and thus may contain relevant subject
