        Appeal No. 2006-0602                                  5                       
        Application No. 10/260,600                                                    

        appellant’s independent claim 1. The examiner’s reference (answer,            
        page 3) to the ceiling (46) of the corridors (14, 14’)  in Martin             
        to address appellant’s claimed ceiling extending from said first              
        rink side wall and said second rink side wall across the inter-rink           
        distance, is wholly unavailing.  The corridor ceilings (46) have no           
        association with the rink side walls, do not span the inter-rink              
        distance, have nothing to do with the spectator viewing space of              
        Martin and, contrary to the examiner bare assertion on page 4 of              
        the answer, clearly do not meet the terms of the claims on appeal.
