Summary
The invention relates to a barcode scanning device that captures images within a given field of view (FOV). The device comprises a base and a scanner enclosure having curved surfaces for nesting together with only a small clearance between the scanner enclosure and base so as to prevent ingress of dirt. The examiner had objected to lack of inventive step on the basis of two pieces of prior art. The Hearing Officer found the claimed invention to lack an inventive step with regard to one of these prior art. The applicant was given the opportunity to submit saving amendments.
