Appeal No. 1999-0346 Page 3
Application No. 08/760,683
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a vibration damping
pivot bushing. An understanding of the invention can be
derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, which appears in
the appendix to the appellants' brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Ulderup et al. (Ulderup) 2,958,526 Nov.
1, 1960
Damon 3,572,677 Mar. 30,
1971
Claim 5 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly
point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the
appellants regard as the invention.
Claims 1 through 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
103(a) as being unpatentable over Ulderup in view of Damon.
