Findings of Fact Relating to Obviousness
7. Wyant discloses at least one pocket formed between a card and a tab
yielding panel (Wyant, col. 3, ll. 28-29).
8. Wyant teaches that the card may be of any convenient size or shape
(Wyant, col. 2, ll. 16-20).
9. Wyant also discloses that the indexing member may be formed from
any conventional stationary paper including card stock and paper
stock (Wyant, col. 2, ll. 21-25).
10. Wyant teaches that the tab yielding panel can be folded inwardly to
secure the panel to the card with an adhesive along the inside margins
of the tab yielding panel, which results in two-ply seams (Wyant,
col. 2, ll. 49-53).
11. In an alternate embodiment, Wyant teaches securing the tab yielding
panel to the card by top and bottom marginal panels which overlap the
tab yielding panel, resulting in three plies along its top and bottom
edges (Wyant, col. 2, ll. 53-61).
12. The pocket is shown and described as facing toward the apertures
used to retain the card in a three ring binder (Wyant, col. 2, ll. 53-55,
col. 3, ll. 9-13, Figure 1).
13. Any convenient bonding method including adhesive can be used to
secure the tab yielding panel to the card (Wyant, col. 2, ll. 50-53).

which leaves are permanently attached to a binder element of the book
