          Application No. 08/068,445                                                   


               The subject matter on appeal relates to thermoplastic                   
          terpolymers having particular polysiloxane, aromatic polyester               
          and polycarbonate segments.  See specification, page 1,                      
          lines 6-8.  These terpolymers are said to exhibit “non-                      
          Newtonian melt viscosities, advantageous low temperature                     
          properties and resistance to solvents, chemicals, hydrolysis                 
          and to photodecomposition.”  See specification, page 1, lines                
          9-                                                          11.

          ntative of the subject matter on appeal and read as follows:                 
               1.  A thermoplastic terpolymer, which comprises:                        
               (a) about 1 to about 50 weight percent of a repeating or                
          recurring polysiloxane unit, based on the total weight of the                
          terpolymer, of the formula:                                                  






          where R  and R  are each independently selected from hydrogren,1      2                                                              
          hydrocarbyl, or halogen-substituted hydrocarbyl; D is an                     
          integer of from about 10 to about 120; and Y is hydrogen,                    
                                           2
