Appeal No. 2002-0095 Application No. 09/378,051 For the reasons which we have articulated, supra, the argument advanced by appellant simply does not convince us that claims 7 and 13 are patentable under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b). More specifically, these claims do not require four different gripping surfaces, as argued. In summary, this panel of the board has sustained the rejection of the claims on appeal. The decision of the examiner is affirmed. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
