Appeal No. 99-0073 Page 11
Application No. 08/562,166
claim 18, and of claims 19 and 20 which depend therefrom,
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by Alston.
Remand to the Examiner
The application is remanded to the examiner to conduct a
search of shin guards (class 2, subclass 22). Given the
breadth of the claims in this application, we feel that this
search area is pertinent to the subject matter therein.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 18 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is reversed and
the application is remanded to the examiner for further search
as discussed above.
