Appeal No. 1997-4243
Application 08/275,607
Claims 25 and 36 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
103 as unpatentable over George in view of Myers and Gloede,
and further in view of Niemczewski. Niemczewski discloses a
plant stand having a rotation means for moving the plant with
respect to the light or a window. According to the examiner,
it would have been obvious to provide the rotation means and
base means as taught by Niemczewski in the apparatus of
George to allow the potted plant to be moved to receive
varying amounts of light.
Claim 32 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
unpatentable over George in view of Niemczewski for the
reasons given above with respect to the rejection of claims 25
and 36.
For the full details of the examiner's rejections,
reference is made to the Examiner's Answer (Paper No. 14) and
the Supplemental Examiner's Answer (Paper No. 25). For
appellant's response to these rejections, reference is made to
the Appeal Brief (Paper No. 13) and the Second Reply Brief
(Paper No. 18).
