Appeal No. 2002-1968
Application No. 09/574,922
Appellant's invention relates to a method for aiding a first
player in throwing an ordinary baseball at a non-adhesive
baseball receiving pocket portion of a glove held by a second
player. The method includes providing a single, flexible target
member, separate from the glove, and having a highly visible
outwardly facing portion and an inwardly facing pressure
sensitive adhesive layer for affixing the target member to the
glove, and thereafter affixing the separate target member to the
pocket portion of the glove by manually pressing the pressure
sensitive adhesive layer against the pocket portion of the glove.
A copy of claim 45, the only claim remaining in the application,
can be found in the Appendix to appellant's brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Wheeler 2,662,225 Dec. 15, 1953
Motooka et al. 5,584,133 Dec. 17, 1996
(Motooka)
Claim 45 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being
unpatentable over Wheeler in view of Motooka.
