Appeal No. 2000-0206 Page 2
Application No. 08/699,328
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a traffic sign. A copy
of the claims under appeal is set forth in the appendix to the
appellant's brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Like 1,517,439 Dec. 2, 1924
Lectric Lites Co. Catalog, page 6, item W3-1 (Lectric Lites)
Claims 5, 6, 11 to 13, 15 and 16 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Lectric Lites in view
of Like.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by
the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejection, we make reference to the answer (Paper No. 13, mailed
June 22, 1999) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support
of the rejection, and to the brief (Paper No. 10, filed October
19, 1998) and supplemental brief (Paper No. 12, filed April 5,
1999) for the appellant's arguments thereagainst.
