Application 09/756,588
maintain the outer cuff taut against the remainder of the sock
when positioned as in Figure 1 of Meengs and taut against the
boot when the outer cuff or guard sleeve is folded over the boot
top as shown in Figure 2 of Meengs, we will sustain the rejection
of claim 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
In accordance with appellant’s grouping of claims 5 through
8 on page 4 of the brief, we conclude that claims 6 through 8
will fall with claim 1 and note that the examiner’s rejection of
those claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is likewise sustained.
As is apparent from our above determinations, the decision
of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 4 of the present
application under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed, as is the
examiner’s decision rejecting claims 5 through 8 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a).
