Appeal No. 1998-0797
Application No. 08/470,706
The appealed claims are drawn to an integrated system for
folding, inserting, and pressure sealing mailer type business
forms, and are reproduced in the appendix of appellants’
brief.1
The references applied in the final rejection are:

The admitted prior art on pages 1 to 4, 11 and 18 of
appellants’ specification (APA).
The claims on appeal stand finally rejected under 35
U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over the following combinations
of references:2
(1) Claim 1, Neill in view of APA and Kalisiak;
1We note that in claim 1 in the appendix, "mounted" in
line 3 should be --mounting--.
2In stating the rejections in the Examiner’s Answer, the
examiner did not include claims 79 to 81, but inasmuch as
appellants have argued the rejections of those claims in their
brief and reply brief, they do not appear to have been
prejudiced by this inadvertent omission.
