                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  


               This is an appeal from the refusal of the examiner to allow            
          claims 1 through 6, as amended subsequent to the final rejection.           
          These claims constitute all of the claims in the application.               


               Appellants’ invention pertains to an electromagnetic shield            
          for use with a circuit board having circuit devices.  A basic               
          understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading of             
          exemplary claims 1 and 4, respective copies of which appear in              
          the CLAIMS APPENDIX to the main brief (Paper No. 18).
