In re Kalter

This appeal involves, as the sole question to be determined, the patentability of a claim in an application for a design patent for a cycle seat. Appellant’s application for a patent was denied by the Primary Examiner of the United States Patent Office and upon appeal to the Board of Appeals the examiner’s decision was affirmed. Appellant has here appealed for a hearing and a determination of such appeal.

The claim reads:

The ornamental design for a Cycle Saddle,, substantially as shown and described.
