              Before COHEN, FRANKFORT and STAAB, Administrative Patent Judges.                                             
              COHEN, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                          
                                                DECISION ON APPEAL                                                         
                     This is an appeal from the refusal of the examiner to allow claims 1 through 3, all                   
              of the claims remaining in the application, as amended subsequent to the final rejection.                    


                     Appellant’s invention pertains to an identification bracelet. A basic understanding                   
              of the invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, a copy of which                         
              appears in the APPENDIX to the brief (Paper No. 16).                                                         


                     As evidence of anticipation and obviousness, the examiner has applied the                             
              documents listed below:
