Appeal No. 2006-0320
Application No. 10/293,833
10, 23 and 26, each of which are directed to a shock absorber
assembly, are representative of the subject matter on appeal
and a copy of those claims can be found in the amendment filed
March 2, 2005.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the claims on appeal are:
Gibson, Jr. (Gibson) 3,100,498 Aug. 13, 1963
Martin 4,568,081 Feb. 4, 1986
In addition to the foregoing prior art patents, the examiner
has also relied upon appellant’s admitted prior art (AAPA) found
in paragraph 3 on page 1 of the specification.
Claims 10 through 27 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
as being unpatentable over AAPA in view of Martin and Gibson.2
2 As indicated on page 10 of the answer, the examiner
has determined that the amendment filed March 2, 2005 has
overcome the rejection of claims 10 through 27 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, second paragraph, set forth on pages 3-4 of the final
2
