THE INVENTION
The invention relates to “merchandising units for
ordering of photofinishing services, displaying of associated
photographic products, and storing of product inventory”
(specification, page 1). Claim 1 is representative and reads
as follows:2
1. A combined photofinishing storage, display, and
ordering merchandising unit, comprising:
an order workstation having a front wall, a writing
surface extending from said wall, a dispenser for dispensing
order envelopes, and a collection bin for receiving filled
order envelopes;
a pair of display sections for displaying of merchandise,
one of said display sections being positioned on each side of
said order workstation so as to define a storage area between
said pair of display sections and workstation, at least one of
said display sections being movable so as to allow access to
1 Claim 29 has been amended subsequent to the final
rejection.
2 The term “said display section” in claims 4, 6, 7, 12,
13, 19, 27 and 28 lacks a proper antecedent basis (the
preceding claim language recites three display sections).
This informality is deserving of correction in the event of
further prosecution before the examiner.
