Appeal No. 1999-2047
Application No. 08/837,350
As a consequence of our review, we make the determination
which follows.
We cannot sustain any of the examiner’s rejections under
35 U.S.C. § 103.
Independent claim 1 is drawn to a shield plated
corrugated tube for covering an electric wire to mechanically
protect and electromagnetically shield the electric wire
accommodated therein comprising, inter alia, a flexible tube
body including a tube wall corrugated by repetition of convex-
concave portions having a plurality of inner and outer grooved
portions, wherein the size of the tube body is set at least so
that each of the inner grooved portions satisfies a condition
of 0.5 < D/W < 1.6 (D and W being respectively the depth and
width of each inner grooved portion), and an electromagnetic
shielding metal layer formed on the inner surface of the tube
wall by electroless plating.
The examiner applies the patent to Takagi as the basis
for rejecting independent claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
