considered to be the recited "plurality of photographic
storage panels." Thus, Yang's cover 1 including front wall 11
with window 111 and rear wall 12 is not readable on the
claimed "means for housing said photographic storage panels,
said means for housing including a cover member, said means
for housing concealing said plurality of photographic storage
panels and any photographs disposed within an associated
photographic insert sleeve member when said cover member is in
a closed position," since the window 111 permits the pictures
to be seen when the front wall 11 of the cover 1 is closed
(see column 1, lines 54-60 of Yang). Accordingly, the
examiner has failed to establish the obviousness of the
claimed invention.
Furthermore, we note that the claimed "plurality of
photographic insert sleeve members" capable of storing at
least one photograph disposed on a plurality of photographic
storage panels as recited in claim 1 is not suggested by any
of the applied prior art.
