              Appeal No. 2006-1293                                                                 Παγε 7                                       
              Application No. 10/437,840                                                                                                        


              when a person indicated in some way that it was desired to purchase the items in the                                              
              divider.                                                                                                                          
                     For the foregoing reasons, we will not sustain this rejection.                                                             
                     We turn next to the examiner's rejection of claims 5 and 6 under 35 U.S.C.                                                 
              § 103 as being unpatentable over Fraser, Langhorne or Ray and Misaresh. The                                                       
              examiner's reasoning in regard to the rejection can be found on page 5 of the answer.                                             
                     We will not sustain this rejection for the reasons given above for the rejection of                                        
              claim 1, from which claims 5 and 6 depend as neither Langhorne nor Misaresh cures                                                 
              the deficiencies noted above for Fraser.                                                                                          
                     We turn next to the examiner's rejection of claims 1 and 3 to 6 as being                                                   
              unpatentable over Misaresh in view of Fraser.  The examiner's rationale regarding this                                            
              rejection can be found on page 6 of the answer.  The examiner relies on Fraser for                                                
              teaching a motion detector operative to activate a lamp in response to motion detected                                            
              outside the form.  We will not sustain this rejection because as we have discussed                                                
              above, the motion detector described in Fraser does not detect motion outside the form.                                           
                     We turn next to the examiner's rejection of claims 1, 2, 5 and 6 as being                                                  
              unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Misaresh in view of Hoshi.  The examiner's                                                
              rationale regarding this rejection can be found on page 7 of the answer.  Recognizing                                             
              that Misaresh does not describe a motion sensor, the examiner relies on Hoshi and                                                 
              concludes:
