Appeal No. 1999-2361
Application 08/410,496
included a rejection of these claims in the examiner's answer
nor has he indicated their allowability. Accordingly, to
clarify the record, we will, in our decision, consider the
rejection of claims 7 and 15 as advanced by the examiner in
the final rejection.
The claimed invention is directed to an artificial
fishing lure with a parabolically shaped anterior section, a
parabolically shaped posterior section and a circumvoluted
middle section which includes a 90 degree twist therein. The
circumvoluted middle section and the posterior section
comprise less than half the length of the fishing lure but the
balance of the lure's mass, therefore making the center of
gravity of the fishing lure rearward of the fishing lure's
longitudinal center.
The claimed subject matter can be further considered with
reference to the claims on appeal appended to appellant's
brief.
The references of record relied upon by the examiner as
evidence of obviousness are:
