The claims on appeal are drawn to an aiming device for
practicing putting, and, with some errors noted by the
examiner on pages 2 and 3 of the answer, are reproduced in the
appendix of appellant's brief.
The references applied in the final rejection are:
Brandell 4,078,806 Mar. 14,
1978
Terry, III et al. 5,527,041 Jun. 18,
1996

A reference of record, applied herein in a rejection
pursuant to 37 CFR 1.196(b), is:
Mick 5,452,897
Sept. 26, 1995
Claims 1, 3 to 5 and 11 to 13 stand finally rejected on
the following grounds:
(1) Claims 11 to 13, anticipated by Terry, under 35 U.S.C.
1Claim 19 was added by an amendment after final
rejection, filed on February 10, 1997 (Paper No. 5½), "for the
purpose of placing claim 2 in independent form." Although the
amendment did not specifically cancel claim 2, the examiner
appears to have treated it as if it were cancelled.
