An examiner's amendment to the record appears below. Should the changes and/or

additions be unacceptable to applicant, an amendment may be filed as provided by 37 CFR
1.312. To ensure consideration of such an amendment, it MUST be submitted no later than the
payment of the issue fee.
Because the drawing is it's own best description, the description of FIG. 1 is deemed
superfluous and has therefore been canceled. Also, for a definite disclosure and proper
numbering, the figure descriptions have been (37 CER 1,153) amended to read:

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of an electronic device in accordance with the present
design;
FIG. 2 is a bottom perspective view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a top view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a bottom view thereof;
FIG.
FIG.
FIG.
FIG.

5
6

8

is a left side view thereof;
is a right side view thereof;
is an upper side view thereof;
is a lower side view thereof;

FIG. 9 is an exemplary diagram of the use of the electronic device thereof the broken
lines being shown for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
Furthermore, the inclusion of the statement regarding the appendix is not proper for the
specification of a Design Patent application. Therefore, said statement has been cancelled, 37
CFR 1.153.

The drawing disclosure is objectionable because FIGS. 1A-8 have not been properly
numbered and, the human figure has not been reduced to broken lines. Therefore, to overcome
the objection, the figures currently numbered as FIGS. 1A-8 must be renumbered as FIGS. 1-9.
Also, because the human figure is only being shown for illustrative purposes, said figure must
be reduced to broken lines. Note the attached sketches. Correction is required, 37 CFR 1.84.

When preparing new drawings in compliance with the requirement therefor, care must
be exercised to avoid introduction of anything which could be construed to be new matter
prohibited by 35 U.S.C. 132 and 37 CFR 1.121.
Any inquiry concerning this communication or earlier communications from the examiner
should be directed to Freda S. Nunn, whose telephone number is [phone]. The
examiner can normally be reached on Monday - Thursday, and alternate Fridays from 7:00 am
to 4:00 pm
If attempts to reach the examiner by telephone are unsuccessful, the examiner's
supervisor, Alan Douglas, can be reached at [phone]. The FAX phone number for this
