Appeal 2007-2897
Application 09/934,777
decision on the message to be applied is made while the interior of the carton is
still accessible for easy determination of the contents. (Williams, col. 4, ll. 13-17.)
Thus, we find the combination of the cited references describes or suggests color
coded tape preprinted with a repeating single room address or location. Because a
single location or address, repeated on a tape, is suggested by the combination of
Plummer and Williams (see supra, at pp. 9-10), no marking of the package with a
writing instrument would be required. Therefore, we are not persuaded by
Appellant's argument. The rejection of the claims for obviousness is affirmed.
CONCLUSION
The obviousness rejections of claims 6-11 and 13-21 are affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this
appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
