Interference No. 104,158
this art to attach a cartridge to a razor handle. In our
view, it would have been obvious to use guide rails in the
apparatus of Althaus’ claim 1 taken as prior art. Thus, we
reverse the decision of the APJ, and we will redeclare the
interference with claim 9 of the Althaus patent designated as
corresponding to the count.
Inasmuch as guide rails are an obvious inclusion,
based on the teachings found in Kirk, Terry and Ishida, on the
device disclosed in the Oldroyd PCT document, which is prior
art to Althaus, we hereby further conclude that the subject
matter of
claim 9, newly reinstated in the interference, is unpatentable
over the prior art. Accordingly, judgment as to claim 9 based
on unpatentablity over the prior art will be entered against
Althaus, hereinbelow.
