Appeal No. 1999-0523
Application 08/797,523
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims
1, 2, 4 through 9, and 11, and from the refusal of the exam-
iner to allow claim 3, as amended (Paper No. 6) subsequent to
the final rejection (Paper No. 5). Claim 10, the only other
claim remaining in the application, stands objected to by the
examiner (Paper No. 5, Paragraph No. 6).
Appellants’ invention pertains to a shelving system.
An understanding of the invention can be derived from a read-
ing of exemplary claims 1 and 11, copies of which appear in
the APPENDIX to the brief (Paper No. 11).
As evidence of anticipation and obviousness, the
examiner has applied the documents listed below:
Ferdinand et al. (Ferdinand) 3,392,689 July 16,
1968
Cohen 3,858,988 Jan. 7, 1975
Halstrick 4,796,541 Jan. 10,
1989
The following rejections are before us for review.
Claims 1 through 6 and 11 stand rejected under 35
U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by Cohen.
