Appeal No. 2001-1301
Application 08/867,949
either placement to be an obvious matter of design choice. Thus,
the Easyboard product, seen through the eyes of a person having
ordinary skill in the art, would have suggested a film component
having hook-type attachment means. Such a film component would
respond to all of the display frame limitations in the appealed
claims. In this regard, it is again pointed out that these
claims are drawn to a display frame per se, and not to a display
frame in combination with a fabric covered surface or to a method
of using a display frame with such a surface.
We shall therefore sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
rejection of claims 39, 40, 43 and 46.
SUMMARY
The decision of the examiner to reject claims 39, 40, 43 and
46 is affirmed.
