Appeal No. 1999-2323
Application No. 08/434519
Appellants' invention relates to a spill resistant insect
bait station for destroying insects. A copy of representative
claim 1 on appeal is attached to this decision.1
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Moore 2,234,500 Mar. 11,
1941
Morris 4,485,582 Dec. 4,
1984
Demarest et al. 5,033,229 Jul. 23,
1991
(Demarest '229)
Wefler 5,548,922 Aug.

(filed Jan. 11, 1995)
Claims 1 and 8 through 11 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102(e) as being anticipated by Wefler.
1Like the examiner (answer, page 3), we note that the
copy of the claims contained in the Appendix to appellants'
brief is not a correct copy of the claims on appeal.
