Appeal No. 95-0523
Application No. 07/885,490
increase digestibility of any consumed material which
contained the various substrates of the enzyme composition of
Mochizuki, for example proteins, polysaccharides and fats,
would be an inherent characteristic of the enzyme composition
taught by the reference.
Claims 24-26 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as
anticipated by Sipos.
Sipos teaches enzyme compositions for ingestion by a
mammal with an enzyme deficiency which results in a digestive
disorder. See column 1, lines 13-20 of Sipos. The enzymes
contained in the composition are selected from a list of
enzymes that includes proteases; polysaccharide degrading
enzymes, such as amylase; lipase; and lactase, i.e. $-
galactosidase. See Sipos, column 4, line 67 through column 5,
line 46. Sipos teaches that the enzyme compositions are
intended to aid in the digestibility of food. See column 3,
lines 8-15. In any case, the use of the composition to
increase digestibility of a specific food, i.e. non-human milk
baby formula, is not presented as a claim limitation in claims
24-26.
