on the rear shelf or hanging on the outside of a partially
lowered window." (emphasis in original).
We disagree with appellants' interpretation of the noted
passages for the second limitation. Hutchison describes
(column 3, line 58-column 4, line 5) means for mounting the
display on a shelf, for hanging the display from a side
window, or "for suspending the display unit 12 from a number
of suction fasteners 14b from a side window 'W' or the rear
window 'R.'" Figure 4 shows the outside door handle of an
automobile and the display unit shown in shadow. Thus, in
Figure 4 the display unit is
hanging on the inside of the window. Appellants' claim
requires that the display board be "removably attached to the
inside of a rear, front, or side window of the vehicle"
(emphasis added). Since Hutchison shows and discloses a
display which can be attached to the rear window (via suction
cups) or to the side window (via suction cups or a clip that
hangs over the edge of the window), Hutchison meets the
limitation of being removably attached to the inside of the
vehicle window.
