              Appeal No. 2004-0269                                                                 Page 6                
              Application No. 09/589,866                                                                                 


              tag, on a key ring with a key, having different but associated displays, which may take                    
              the form of text, numbers, pictures, etc., on opposite sides thereof.1  Accordingly, a                     
              search in at least class D3, subclasses 207 and 208, would appear to be appropriate.                       
              As the search notes on the file wrapper of this application do not indicate that a search                  
              was conducted in this area, this application is remanded to the examiner to conduct                        
              such a search and to consider other appropriate prior art of which the examiner may be                     
              aware in light of the above remarks with regard to the scope of claim 1.                                   






















                     1 For example, a souvenir-type key ring tag having the name of a city on one side and text or       
              pictures descriptive of that city on the other side would fall within the claimed subject matter.
