            Appeal No. 2002-0494                                                          Page 9              
            Application No. 29/102,729                                                                        


                   Since there is a reissuable error present in this application, the decision of the         
            examiner to reject the design claim under 35 U.S.C. § 251 as lacking defect in the                
            original application and lack of error in obtaining the original patent is reversed.              


                                               CONCLUSION                                                     
                   To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject the design claim under                
            35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, and 35 U.S.C. § 251  based on new matter is affirmed            
            and the decision of the examiner to reject the design claim under 35 U.S.C. § 171 and             
            35 U.S.C. § 251 on bases other than new matter is reversed.                                       


                   Since at least one rejection of the appealed design claim has been affirmed, the           
            decision of the examiner is affirmed.
