And I kid you not, I did NOT make this up.
"Claim 1 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Humpston et al. (U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0190691, from hereinafter “Humpston”) in view of Spooner et al. (U.S. Patent No. 6946326, from hereinafter “Spooner”)."
Claim 1 is rejected over Humpston in view of Spooner.
Wrap your head around that.
Writing up the rest of this office action tomorrow afternoon (I have to come in for three hours. Hazard of a flexible schedule...) is going to be hilarious.
