Application No. 08/510,590
would, indeed, make the card “more functional and practical,” it appears from the evidence before us
that only appellants’ specification suggests this
functionality and practicality. Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 21-23 under 35
U.S.C. 103.
We have sustained the rejection of claims 1-6 and 8-20 but we have not sustained the rejection of
claims 21-23.
Accordingly, the examiner’s decision is affirmed-in-part.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended
under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
