              Appeal No. 1999-0946                                                                                      
              Application No. 08/693,641                                                                                


                     Independent method claim 6 recites the steps of injection molding a preform having                 
              a neck portion and forming said neck to have an inner neck wall and an outer neck wall,                   
              wherein said inner neck wall and said outer neck wall are spaced apart to provide a gap                   
              therebetween.  Again, since we find no teaching, suggestion or incentive in the prior art                 
              applied by the exmainer for providing the hot fillable plastic bottle/preform of Orimoto with             
              a groove for a ticket like that present in the reusable glass bottle of Hall, we must also                
              refuse to sustain the rejection of claim 6 based on Orimoto in view of Hall.                              


























                                                           8
