Appeal No. 99-0952
Application 08/795,494
Appellants’ invention pertains to a housing for storing
disc-shaped information carriers. An understanding of the
invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 9,
a copy of which appears in the APPENDIX to the brief (Paper
No. 14).
As evidence of anticipation and obviousness, the examiner
has applied the documents listed below:
Nusselder 4,535,888 Aug. 20,
1985
Brandt et al. 5,269,409 Dec. 14, 1993
(Brandt)
The following rejections are before us for review.
Claims 9 through 13 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
102(b) as being anticipated by Nusselder.
Claims 14 through 16 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
103(a) as being unpatentable over Nusselder in view of Brandt.
The full text of the examiner’s rejections and response
to the argument presented by appellants appears in the final
