          Application 08/243,428                                                      




               In the rejection of the appealed claims, the examiner                  
          relies upon the following references:                                       
               Ohmori et al. (Ohmori II)     4,544,720           Oct. 01,             
          1985                                                                        
               Ohmori et al. (Ohmori I)           4,581,412           Apr.            
          08, 1986                                                                    
               Appellants' claimed invention is directed to epoxides                  
          containing a perfluorovinyl group of the recited formula.                   
          According to appellants, the claimed compounds may be                       
          polymerized through either the epoxy or vinyl functionality to              
          form polymers that find utility as coatings, adhesion control               
          agents, etc.                                                                
               The present application is a continuation of U.S. Serial               
          No. 07/991,401 filed Dec 15, 1992, which, in turn, is a                     
          continuation of U.S. Serial No. 07/530,376, filed May 30,                   
          1990.  Appellants took an appeal in the grandparent                         
          application, U.S. Serial No. 07/530,376, on the same claims                 
          now before us.  In a decision dated Nov. 25, 1992, this Board               
          affirmed the examiner's rejection of claims 1-5 under 35                    
          U.S.C. § 103 over Ohmori I and Ohmori II .  Although it was                 
          appellants' contention in the prior appeal that the Ohmori                  
                                          2
