35 U.S.C. 171 Double Patenting Rejection (Design-Design)

United States Patent and Trademark Office

The claim is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 171 on the ground of double patenting since it is claiming the same design as that claimed in United States Design Patent No. [1].

Examiner Note:

Form paragraph 15.23.02 should follow all "same invention" type double patenting rejections.
