Appeal No. 2004-1302
Application No. 09/789,757
the rejection of claims 53 and 54 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph. Since this was the only rejection pending against
these claims, claims 53 and 54 also currently stand as non-
rejected claims, and they likewise have not been included in this
appeal.1 Claims 10, 22-24, 33, 38, 41, 42, 52-54 and 59-61, the
only other claims in the application, have been indicated by the
examiner to contain allowable subject matter, but currently stand
objected to until such time that they are rewritten in
independent form. In light of the above, claims 1-7, 9, 11-21,
25-32, 34-37, 39, 40, 43-51, 55-58 and 62-64 remain before us on
appeal.
Appellant’s invention pertains to a package for holding one
or more compact disks (CDs). Claims 1 and 26, copies of which
are found in the appendix to appellant’s brief, are illustrative
of the subject matter in issue.2
1Upon return of this application to the Technology Center,
the examiner should determine the status of claims 8, 53, 54 and
65.
2The copies of claims 47 and 49 in the appendix to the brief
are incorrect. Claim 47 should depend from claim 32, and claim
49 should depend from claim 48.
