Application 10/668,522
writing and reading (Solomon, [0013], [0014]). The bulb is fixed in a
portable lamp 10, preferably powered by batteries 12, which lamp preferably
is lightweight and capable of being easily held by a child and which may
also include a stand to allow the ultraviolet light to shine in a desired
direction (Solomon, [0013]).
FF6. Ristow evidences that greeting cards were recognized by those skilled
in the art of stationery at the time of Appellants’ invention as falling within
the class of stationery (Ristow 1:1-3). Ristow is directed, in particular, to a
combined greeting card and gift holder (Ristow 1:1-3) comprising suitable
greeting matter 16 on its outer plies (Ristow 1:77-79).
FF7. Appellants do not specifically challenge the Examiner’s determination
that it would have been obvious to one skilled in the art, in view of the
teachings of Ristow, to modify Solomon by placing a first ink readable
under visible light onto the stationery/greeting card to make the
stationery/greeting card more aesthetically pleasing and to allow a desired
message to be conveyed to all viewers of the stationery/greeting card
(Answer 3).
FF8. Funk evidences that ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV LEDs) were
known in the art at the time of Appellants’ invention (Funk, col. 6, ll. 36-38).
FF9. Prescott discloses a light source and an attachment means, such as a
hook and loop fastener, for securing the light source to a book in an easily
removable manner (Prescott, col. 4, ll. 8-13, col. 6, ll. 17-33).
FF10. Appellants do not challenge the Examiner’s determination that it
would have been obvious, in view of the teachings of Heinze, to modify
Solomon by providing a package and instructions on how to use the contents
of the package as called for in claim 13 (Answer 6).
