Appeal No. 2000-0941 Page 3
Application No. 09/077,362
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a roller blind
(claims 1 to 5, 7, 8, and 10) and a kit for decorating a
roller blind (claims 11 and 12). 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:
Cadmus 2,024,090 Dec. 10,
1935
Koller et al. 5,203,395 Apr. 20,
1993
(Koller)
Claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11 and 12 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by Cadmus.2
Claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by Koller.
2On page 3 of the answer, it appears to us that the
examiner inadvertently failed to carry forward claim 5 from
this ground of rejection as set forth in the final rejection.
