FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's
final rejection of claims 12 through 16 and 25 through 27.
Claims 17 through 24, the only other claims remaining in the
application, have been objected to, but are indicated to be
allowable subject to the requirement that they be rewritten in
independent form to include all the limitations of the
claim(s) from which they depend. Claims 1 through 11 have
been canceled.
Appellant’s invention is directed to a sheet
material end closure for a container, such as a beverage
container, and to a method for forming said container end
closure. Independent claims 12 and 26 are representative of
the subject matter on appeal and a copy of those claims may be
found in the Appendix to appellant’s brief.
