Appeal No. 2006–0033 Παγε 2
Application No. 10/764,302
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to the art of pipe wrenches and more
particularly, to improvements in pivoting jaw pipe wrenches (specification, p. 1). A copy
of the claims under appeal is set forth in the appendix to the appellants' brief.
Claims 1, 4 and 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated
by U.S. Patent No. 460,2301 to Gunnarson.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and
the appellants regarding the above-noted rejection, we make reference to the answer
(mailed July 7, 2005) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the rejection,
and to the brief (filed April 21, 2005) and reply brief (filed August 31, 2005) for the
appellants' arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
1 Issued September 29, 1891.
