Appeal No. 2000-1296 Page 2
Application No. 08/794,869
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a dispensing device
for a coating material. 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:
Woodson 4,815,241 Mar. 28,
1989
Chabert 5,353,995 Oct. 11,
1994
Claims 1 to 6 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Chabert in view of Woodson.
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. 15,
mailed July 27, 1999) for the examiner's complete reasoning in
support of the rejection, and to the brief (Paper No. 14,
filed July 1, 1999) and reply brief (Paper No. 16, filed
August 16, 1999) for the appellant's arguments thereagainst.
