Appeal No. 2005-1278 Page 19
Application No. 10/145,226
The limitation that the base has a plurality of upstanding corner members each
having "a contoured surface" and the opposed side walls have a second portion having
"a complementary contour for mating with a corresponding contoured surface of the
upstanding corner member" as set forth in claim 25 is readable on Jacques '420. In that
regard, the posts 240 of Jacques '420 have a curved top wall 242 and a pyramidally
shaped integral part 248 which are accommodated by opposite end pieces 218 and 220
when the container is in its erected position shown in Figure 8.
The limitation that the opposed sidewalls have "central portion having a
substantially smooth, non-apertured inner surface'' as set forth in claim 28 is readable
on Jacques '420. In that regard, the solid portion between the two rows of apertures of
each side piece 214 and 216 of Jacques '420 is a central portion of the side wall with a
substantially smooth, non-apertured inner surface.
The limitation that the opposed sidewalls have "a plurality of apertures in the
peripheral portion" as set forth in claim 29 is readable on Jacques '420 since the two
rows of apertures of each side piece 214 and 216 surround the solid portion
therebetween.
