Appeal No. 2001-1404
Application No. 09/145,399
to yield a method of making a looped label. Thus, the
rejection of method claim 6 is not well founded.
We additionally do not sustain the rejection of claims 4,
7, 19, and 20 based upon the combined teachings of Gilchrist,
PAXAR 8500 and Coast.
Based upon the applied teachings, as explained above,
only inappropriate hindsight would have been the basis for
reworking the Gilchrist teaching in view of the PAXAR 8500
disclosure to achieve the method of making a looped label as
set forth in claims 4, 7, 19, and 20. The knowledge in the
art of stacking as revealed by Coast does not overcome the
deficiency of the Gilchrist and PAXAR 8500 combination, as
discussed above. Further, as to apparatus claims 19 and 20, we
do not discern in the teachings of the applied prior art any
suggestion for means interrupting driving means to enable
pressing rolls to press a label for a predetermined period of
time (claim 19) or for heating means and means for
interrupting driving of pressing rolls to enable the pressing
rolls to press a label at its fold line (claim 20).
