Appeal No. 2001-1284 Page 2
Application No. 08/792,765
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a two-part telescopic
lightweight portable bottle cooler apparatus (specification, p.
1). 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:
Buddrus 3,120,319 Feb. 4, 1964
Cooper 4,456,134 June 26, 1984
Augur 4,811,858 Mar. 14, 1989
Claims 1 to 17, 20 to 22, 28 and 29 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 appellant regards as the invention.2
2 The examiner included claims 24 to 27 in the statement of
this rejection (answer, p. 3), however, claims 24 to 27 are not
under appeal as noted on page 1 of this decision.
