Appeal No. 1998-2927 Page 3
Application No. 07/584,667
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a moistening system.
A copy of the claims under appeal is set forth in the appendix
to the appellants' brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Prentis 188,185 March 6,
1877
Krueger 2,232,708 Feb. 25,
1941
Claims 1 to 4 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as
anticipated by or, in the alternative, under 35 U.S.C. §
103(a) as obvious over Prentis or Prentis in view of Krueger.2
2In our view, this rejection sets forth the following
three rejections: (1) Claims 1 to 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)
as anticipated by Prentis; (2) Claims 1 to 4 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) as obvious over Prentis; and (3) Claims 1 to 4 under
35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Prentis in view of Krueger.
