Appeal No. 1999-0969
Application No. 08/790,501
segments simulating natural bait and appendages (claim 9),
respectively, are shown by the features of Rigney's crawdad
(Figure 1). For the reasons earlier expressed with respect
to claim 3, we find the contour delineating feature of claim
13 to be disclosed by Rigney.
Based on the foregoing analysis of the Rigney patent, we
are satisfied that this reference meets all of the limitations
in claims 1, 3, 6-9 and 13.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 1, 3, 6-9 and 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed.
