`
`The examiner advised that the proposed changefiled 2/17/15 under AFCP 2.0 does not overcome the rejection over
`Hagmann. Specifically, Hagmann teaches the newly recited steps of "placing the cutting edge which projects from the
`first face of the flat outside borderof said first die against the sheet material" and "applying a force to the opposite face
`of the flat outside borderof said first die after said cutting edge has first been placed against the sheet material" as
`amended (e,g., via the elastic layer 39 or at a point when the cutting edge emergesfrom the elastic layer and placed
`against the sheet material._in addition, the claim as amended does not preclude having a step of applying a force
`(e.g., initial force) to push the cutting edge out from the elastic layer to cut the sheet material by additional continuing
`force (i.e., cutting force) US 2,150,016, 2,421,809 are additonally discovered.
