as to obtain the benefit of preventing the detectable marker
from falling out of the pocket. Closing all four edges of
Frowein 087's label except for the opening through which the
detectable marker is inserted is consistent with Frowein 087's
illustration of closed long edges and Frowein 087's teaching to
secure the function strip 11 at both short edges 16 where the
function strip is folded in toward the product. Humble et al
provides one of ordinary skill in the art with a reasonable
expectation of success since Humble et al teaches inserting a
detectable marker through an opening in the form of a slot (slit)
in a wall of a pocket which is closed except for the slot (slit)
[answer, pp. 10-11].
Frowein ‘514 is directed to a woven label having an alarm trigger 50 inserted into a
completely closed pocket therein during the weaving process of the label and provides no
teaching or suggestion to provide a slot in a fabric label wall through which an alarm
triggering device is inserted into a pocket in the label. Humble is directed to an enclosure
of tough tear resistant plastic for securing to a flat surface of an article, such as a
cardboard record jacket, by pressure sensitive adhesive, the enclosure provided with a
slot 45 for accepting a security tag 12 therethrough for retention within the enclosure and
a tab 23 for elevating the tag to the ceiling 22 of the enclosure. When a retailer desires to
affix a tag 12 to an article such as a record jacket, the tag may be inserted through the slot
45 into an enclosure 10 whereupon the release paper 18 is peeled from the panel 24 of the
enclosure exposing the pressure sensitive adhesive 15. In order to remove the tag 12
from the enclosure, upon retail purchase of the record, a razor edge implement 26 is
applied to the enclosure 10 to sever the enclosure at the intersection 21 between walls 19
and 20. The implement 26 includes a platform portion 37 supporting a blade 32. The
platform portion 37 penetrates the enclosure so as to slip under the end of tag 12, which is
located within the enclosure with its end 25 elevated toward the ceiling 22 of the
