                 Appeal No.   2005-1109                                                                                
                 Application No.   09/781,733                                                                          

                 plurality of cushioning products manufactured in a set period of time as required                     
                 by claim 6.  Nor do we find the step of storing cumulative length of a plurality of                   
                 cushioning products as required by claim 20, 21 or 22.  Thus, Ratzel fails to                         
                 anticipate claims 6-11,13, 15-24 and 27-32.                                                           
                        While we agree with the examiner that McLean discloses a general                               
                 purpose PC-type computer with RAM and hard drive memory, the disclosure                               
                 thereof cannot ameliorate the deficiencies of the Ratzel reference.  Thus, the                        
                 combined teachings fail to establish the prima facie obviousness of the claims                        
                 rejected under section 103.                                                                           


























                                                          4
