Appeal No. 1994-4024 Page 5
Application No. 07/759,865 Paper No. 31
Appellant's invention from being the first apparatus of the
claim.
Under this broader construction, claim 7 reads on a
camera using the admitted prior art lens mount with the
concave portion 3c (when the mount is made of plastic as Doi
suggests) such that the claimed circumferential groove
corresponds to the lens mount abutment surface 3b.
Effect of new decision
Since this decision is, in effect, a new decision within
the meaning of 37 CFR § 1.197(b), Appellant may file a request
for rehearing under that same rule. Appellant should note
that any request for an extension of time would be subject to
the provisions of 37 CFR § 1.136(b).
