Appeal No. 1998-1847 Page 3
Application No. 08/540,095
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention pertains to the art of patient
care products and more particularly to a transfer bench
(specification, p. 1). A copy of the claims under appeal is
set forth in the appendix to the appellant's brief.
Claims 1, 5 to 10, 12 to 15 and 17 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as containing subject matter
which was not described in the specification in such a way as
to enable one skilled in the art to make and/or use the
invention.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejection, we make reference to the final rejection (Paper No.
6, mailed June 3, 1997) and the answer (Paper No. 12, mailed
January 7, 1998) for the examiner's complete reasoning in
support of the rejection, and to the brief (Paper No. 11,
filed December 8, 1997) for the appellant's arguments
thereagainst.
