              Appeal No. 1998-1601                                                                                        
              Application No. 08/679,595                                                                                  


                     Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection of independent claim 1 under                          
              35 U.S.C. § 103, or of claims 2 through 5, dependent thereon.                                               
                     The rejection of claims 6 and 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 relies on Nasset, in addition                  
              to Bodapati and Konishi.  While Nasset does appear to provide for a plurality of                            
              transparent pockets for holding the small documents, Nasset does nothing to provide for                     
              the deficiencies of Bodapati and Konishi noted supra.  Accordingly, we also will not                        
              sustain the rejection of claims 6 and 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                              
                     The examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1 through 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is                        
              reversed.
