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.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
