Appeal No. 1999-2812 Page 3
Application No. 08/724,049
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a method and
apparatus for transverse cutting of multi-ply web material
and, more particularly, to a continuous motion saw
(specification, p. 1). A copy of claims 17 to 23 and 25 to 28
under appeal is set forth in the appendix to the appellants'
brief (Paper No. 21, filed January 19, 1999). A copy of
claims 16 and 24 under appeal is set forth in the appendix to
the examiner's answer (Paper No. 22, mailed March 26, 1999).
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Molins 1,630,132 May 24,
1927
Spencer RE 30,598 May 5,
1981
Claims 16 to 28 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to
particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter
which the appellants regard as the invention.
