Appeal 2007-1478
Application 10/359,861
with 37 C.F.R. § 41.37(c)(1)(viii) as it does not contain a claims appendix;
however, as Appellant is pro se, in this instance we will overlook
Appellant's non-compliance.
INVENTION
The invention is directed to an assembly to light the front license plate
of a motor vehicle, such as an automobile. Specification 6-7. Claims 2 and
31 are reproduced below:
2. An assembly affixed to the front bumper of a vehicle comprising:
(a) A first lighting element, having a first illumination field, directly
illuminating a front license plate;
(b) A second lighting element, having a second illumination field,
overlapping the first field, also directly illuminating a front license
plate;
(c) A backing assembly supporting the lighting elements;
(d) An electrical assembly connected to the headlight harness, in such
as to [sic—in such a way as to?] provide electrical power to the
lighting elements so long as the vehicle's engine is running.
3. As [sic—An?] assembly separate and distinct from any object
surrounding a front license plate, with the first lighting element’s field
of illumination directly focusing upon a front license plate itself,
causing an indirect reflective effect upon individuals and mechanical
devices viewing the front license plate.
