Appeal No. 1998-3004 Page 9
Application No. 08/290,590
"selectively breakable reservoir" is that the reservoir is
designed to be broken in the
operation of the insect bait station such that toxicant
therein leaks out of the reservoir.
With this definition of "selectively breakable reservoir"
in mind, it is clear that such element is not explicitly or
inherently disclosed by Schlesinger. Since all the
limitations of the claims under appeal are not disclosed by
Schlesinger, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 5
to 8 and 17 under
35 U.S.C. § 102 (b) is reversed.
