Application 11/200,690
2) Birkholz discloses that “[t]he moisture dissipative layer may
include a [layer of] moisture activated adhesive such as is commonly
used in conventional postage stamps.” (Birkholz, col. 2, ll. 47-48).
3) Birkholz discloses that “[t]he moisture dissipative layer may also
include a barrier coating that prevents migration of materials through the
sheet member from the second surface to the first surface.” (Birkholz,
col. 2, ll. 51-54).
4) Birkholz teaches that removal of a label from the support surface
is effected by applying moisture, such as by immersing the label and
support surface in water to dissipate the layer of moisture dissipative
material. (Birkholz, col. 3, ll. 8-12).
5) According to Birkholz, the sheet member may be constructed of
stamp grade paper, polymeric film or metallic foil. (Claims 5-7).
6) Sekiguchi discloses a postage stamp display comprising a postage
stamp having an image printed thereon, which may include indicia such
as the amount of postage and the country of origin. (Sekiguchi, col. 32,
ll. 17-26).
7) Sekiguchi discloses bonding or molding a rectangular transparent
viewing member, such as a lenticular lens, over the front face of the
stamp. (Sekiguchi, col. 32, ll. 26-34).
8) According to Sekiguchi, the back of the stamp may include a gum
(adhesive) which is activated with moisture, e.g., saliva or water, in
order to stick the stamp on an envelope. Alternatively, the back of the
stamp may include a self-sticking adhesive. (Sekiguchi, col. 32, ll. 37-
40).
