Appeal No. 94-3812
Application 07/857,701
the so-called "dangling valence" for nitrogen is attached to
the "R -(Y) " moiety. Concerning the value of "m" in claims 301 n
and 34, we find the examiner has misinterpreted appellant's
disclosure at page 12, lines 2 through 6. It is clear that
"m" is only 1.05 to 5.95 when a mixture of acrylic and
methacrylic compounds are used. Only when either an acrylic or
methacrylic compound is used does "m" have a value of two to
six. Accordingly, the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112,7
paragraph two, is reversed.
THE REJECTIONS UNDER 35 U.S.C. § 103
We shall affirm the reaction over the combination of
Kojima considered with Dessauer and Aoyama. As correctly
noted by the examiner, Kojima discloses that metals, such as
aluminum plates (column 10, lines 8 through 14), may be coated
with a curable composition comprising a bisacrylamide (column
6, lines 19 through 24) and colloidal silica or alumina
(column 5, lines 49 through 59). Similarly, Dessauer
repeated. Thus, we cannot comprehend the scope and content of
what appellant is attempting to claim in claim 34.
We also note that the compounds of claims 30 and 34,7
designated as amides of acrylic acid, are only acrylamides
when
R is hydrogen.2
