          Application No. 08/620,993                                                  


          760, 772, 218 USPQ 781, 789 (Fed. Cir. 1983), cert. denied,                 
          465 U.S. 1026 (1984)).                                                      


          Claim 1                                                                     
               Claim 1 reads as follows:                                              
                    In a fish-attracting system of the type in which a                
               pulse train source is connected in circuit with a                      
               transducer to emit signals of predetermined properties,                
               the improvement which comprises:                                       
               providing said pulse train source in a first container                 
               and said transducer in a second container, at least one                
               of said first and second containers comprising a fish                  
               attracting device.                                                     

               Claim 1 is anticipated by Ursrey.  Claim 1 reads on                    
          Ursrey's fish lure (see Figures 1-3 and 5) as follows: In a                 
          fish-attracting system (Ursrey's fish lure 10) of the type in               
          which a pulse train source (Ursrey's IC chip 26, battery 34,                
          RC circuitry, transistor Q ) is connected in circuit with a                 
                                    1                                                 
          transducer (the diode within one of Ursrey's LED light sources              
          D ) to emit signals of predetermined properties, the                        
           1                                                                          
          improvement which comprises: providing said pulse train source              
          (Ursrey's IC chip 26, battery 34, RC circuitry, transistor Q )              
                                                                      1               
          in a first container (Ursrey's body 12) and said transducer
