Formed on the inside surface of the back leaf of the rigid container is a circular, recessed cavity designed to receive a standard CD or DVD disc. Formed centrally on the rigid container may be an upward extending peg designed to extend into the disc's spindle hole when the disc is placed within the recessed cavity.
- Game and movie DVD manufacturers typically place an outer advertisement label around the front and rear surfaces of the front and rear leafs of the book container. A transparent layer of plastic film is placed over the advertisement label to protect it. The upper edge of the plastic film is normally detached from the book container so that the film folds and tightens when the book container is opened or closed.
- When sold in a retail store, DVD's are often displayed in alphabetically order by title in a vertical alignment on a shelf. Often, only the back or spine of the book container is seen.

In the preferred embodiment, the insert member is an elongated structure with a thin upper tab section that extends upward through the upper opening formed between the film and the adjacent leaf surface. When the book container is placed upright on a shelf, the tab extends above the upper edge of the book container so its unable to a potential buyer or renter. In the preferred embodiment, the insert member is designed to be selectively removed from the book container by the customer and may be used in a promotional scheme offered by the distributor or seller.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a book container for an optical disc with an outer film extended over the front and rear surfaces with two insert members placed inside the films on the front and rear leafs. -
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of an unfolded book container showing the front and rear leafs in an open position with insert members placed over each leaf. - Referring to the FIGS. there is shown and described herein is an optical
disc media container 10 and marketing method that uses an optical discmedia book container 15 that includes surroundingtransparent film 32 that protectsadvertising labels front surface 17 andrear surface 19, respectively, of thebook container 15. Thefilm 32 is adhesively attached along its oppositevertical edges 28A, 28B to theouter edges 16A, 18A of thefront leaf 16 andrear leaf 18, respectively. Theupper edge 32A of thefilm 32 is detached thereby creating acontinuous opening 33 to provide access into twopockets pocket insert member insert member upper tab section upper edge 15A of thebook container 15. When thebook container 15 is placed upright on a shelf, thetab sections tab sections advertising indicia insert member - Using the above-described

- c. placing said optical disc media in said book container; and,
- d. positioning said book container on a support surface so that said tab section extends above the upper edge of the book container and is visible.
- In compliance with the statute, the invention described herein has been described in language more or less specific as to structural features. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific features shown, since the means and construction shown is comprised only of the preferred embodiments for putting the invention into effect. The invention is therefore claimed in any of its forms or modifications within the legitimate and valid scope of the amended claims, appropriately interpreted in accordance with the doctrine of equivalents.
