Appeal No. 1998-0233
Application 08/469,065
THE REJECTIONS
The following rejections are before us on appeal.
Claims 19 through 23 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to
particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter
which appellant regards as the invention. It is the view of
the
examiner that claim 19 is unclear as to whether the claim
positively recites or claims a business card in combination
with the storage system.
Claims 19 through 21, 24, 25 and 26 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Finger in view of
Ristuccia and Goldman. According to the examiner, Finger
discloses a mounting device including guide rails for mounting

that Ristuccia discloses a business card holder comprising a
thin sheet and a rectangular recessed area. The examiner
states that Goldman shows the idea of placing holes in each
corner of a recessed area for allowing cards to be secured to
