Appeal No. 2000-1416
Application No. 09/073,847
equidistantly spaced from each another. (specification, page
2)
Appellant’s claim 1 is drawn to a grid drain for use in
sinks without overflow drains comprising, inter alia, at least
10 drain holes, wherein perimeter holes are not equidistant
from inside holes, and wherein the size of the drain holes is
greater than 6mm to about 10mm in diameter.4
The first rejection
We do not sustain this rejection of claim 1 based upon
the Danver teaching alone. It follows that the rejection of
remaining claims 4 through 7 and 10 through 12 is likewise not
sustained since these claims stand or fall with claim 1 as
earlier indicated.
4Independent claim 7 likewise sets forth at least 10
drain holes, perimeter holes not equidistant from inside
holes, with the size of the drain holes being greater than 6mm
to about 10mm in diameter. The other independent claim 12
also recites at least 10 drain holes and perimeter holes that
are not each equidistant from inside holes but sets forth that
the drain holes have a diameter of about 8mm.
