Appeal No. 1997-0566 Application No. 08/344,345 does not produce a self-sustaining paint roller core which is free of adhesive. With reference to Figure 4 of Sekar's drawing, for example, it is clear that core 18 is adhesive free upstream of adhesive applicator 40 (see lines 3 through 53 in column 5 of Sekar). Under these circumstances, it is clear that the Section 103 rejection of claim 23 as being unpatentable over Sekar in view of Grodberg and Morrison also should be sustained. 9Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
