Appeal No. 1998-3295 Page 5
Application No. 08/054,223
recites that a phonographic record-sleeve is incorporated in
the front-sheet as a pocket having a top opening of sufficient
length to receive an audio disc.
The above-noted limitations of claim 2 are not suggested
by the combined teachings of the applied prior art.
Specifically, both Shore and Rappaport teach the use of a
side-fold jacket or pouch including a phonographic record-
sleeve incorporated therein having a side opening of
sufficient length to receive an audio disc. Thus, the
teachings of Shore and Rappaport, even if combined as proposed
by the examiner, would not have resulted in the claimed
invention (i.e., a side-fold greeting card including a
phonographic record-sleeve incorporated therein having a top
opening of sufficient length to receive an audio disc).
For the reasons stated above, the decision of the
examiner to reject claim 2 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
