Appeal No. 2002-1587
Application No. 09/102,882
Appellants’ invention pertains to a cable tie. A basic
understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading of
exemplary claim 18, a copy of which appears in the APPENDIX to
the main brief (Paper No. 27).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the
documents listed below:
Martin et al 3,102,311 Sep. 3, 1963
(Martin)
Paradis 4,754,529 Jul. 5, 1988
The following rejection is before us for review.
Claims 18 and 19 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over Martin in view of Paradis.
The full text of the examiner’s rejection and response to
the argument presented by appellants appears in the answer (Paper
No. 28), while the complete statement of appellants’ argument can
be found in the main and reply briefs (Paper Nos. 27 and 30).
