          applicant's specification, we reach the following conclusions                
          of law with respect to what is required by independent claim                 
          1.                                                                           
                    1.   Independent claim 1 reads as follows                          
          [indentation,  paragraph numbering and bold ours]:                           
                    The method of preparing labels                                     
                         having an organic adhesive backing degradable by              
                         mineral oil for affixing said labels to surfaces              
               comprising printing on a print-receiving lamination with                
               imaging ink or toner containing mineral oil as a vehicle,               
                    (1) said print-receiving lamination being in contact               
                         with a lamination of said adhesive, and                       
                    (2) said adhesive being contacted by a supporting                  
                         lamination,                                                   
                    (3) said print-receiving lamination being of a                     
                         porous material which holds said mineral oil of               
                         said ink or toner in the pores of said porous                 
                         material away from said adhesive.                             

                    2.   The claim requires using an ink or toner which                
          contains a vehicle which is mineral oil.
