Appeal No. 1998-1015
Application No. 08/208,912
Although, as noted above, all the appealed claims stand or fall together with
claim 15 as per appellants' statement at page 6 of the brief, appellants offer a separate
argument for appealed claim 12 at pages 20-23 of the brief. However, we are in full
agreement with the examiner that it would have been obvious for one of ordinary skill in
the art to use the claimed quasi-reversible thermochromic coloring materials on a toy
whose body is one of the recited plastics and whose outer surface is a non-woven one.
In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's decision rejecting the
appealed claims is affirmed.
No period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may
be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
AFFIRMED
