Appeal No. 2001-0651
Application 08/134,187
129 through 132 and 355 through 357, the only other claims
remaining in the application, have been withdrawn from further
consideration under 37 CFR § 1.142(b) as being directed to a non-
elected invention. Claims 133 through 340 and 358 through 386
have been canceled.
Appellants’ invention relates to (1) a method of making a
token having a base portion of a desired metallic composition, a
center area therein including a cavity carrying an imprinted disk
having pictures or indicia thereon, and a protective outer
coating filling the cavity for protecting the imprinted disk from
wear and preventing scratching of the imprinted disk, and (2) a
token formed by such method. While the specification focusses on
gaming tokens such as those used in casinos, it is indicated
(specification, page 5) that the term “token” is intended to
include
not only gaming tokens that have designated denominational
values and can be used in mechanical or electrical gaming
devices or in live casino games, but also coins, medallions
and tokens that have no casino gaming value, but rather are
used as promotional items, collectible and commemorative
items and may be bought and sold or traded by the general
consuming public.
