          Appeal No. 2001-1450                                                        
          Application 08/477,640                                                      

          (Fig. 15); no such sole structure is found in Giese.  The portion           
          of the shoe sole in Giese that is located beneath the intended              
          wearer’s foot sole location is flat.                                        

               In summary: the decision of the examiner to reject claims              
          22, 63, 64, 66 through 70, 72, 88, 89, 92 through 94 and 96                 
          through 101 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being clearly anticipated           
          by Bretschneider is not sustained.  Likewise, the examiner’s                
          decision to reject claims 22 and 66 through 70 under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 102(b) as clearly anticipated by Giese is not sustained.                  















                                          11
