Appeal No. 2005-1957
Application No. 10/000,976
referring to the Office action dated Mar. 10, 2004).1 We reverse
the rejection on appeal essentially for the reasons stated in the
Brief and those reasons set forth below.
OPINION
The examiner finds that Uchida discloses placing a cartridge
1 inside a created packaging container 2, with sealing member
5 placed on opening 1a, where the sealing member has an extension
integrally attached and a second end 5a attached to the container
by heat seal 3, with means for partially removing the cartridge
from the package or container 2, with the integrally attached
extension of sealing member 5a being of enough length so that the
cartridge may be partially removed without removing the seal
(Answer, pages 3-4, citing Figures 1-4 and col. 2, l. 66-col. 3,
l. 32, of Uchida).
Appellants argue that Uchida ensures the removal of the seal
5 as soon as the cartridge 1 is begun to be removed from the bag
2 (Brief, pages 4 and 6).
1The Office action dated Mar. 10, 2004, also includes the
rejection of claims 1, 6, 10 and 15 under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
paragraph 2, and 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). These rejections have not
been repeated in the Answer.
