          Application No. 08/072,807                                                  

               The examiner has relied upon the following references in               
          support of the rejections:                                                  
          Yu et al. (Yu)                5,238,990           Aug. 24,                  
          1993                                                                        
          (filed Jun. 5,

               Claims 10-14 and 16 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                   
          102(e) as anticipated by Yu (Answer, page 3).  Claims 15 and                
          17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over                
          Yu in view of Keuerleber (Id.).  We affirm both of these                    
          rejections for reasons which follow.                                        
          OPINION                                                                     
               The polyamide composition recited in appealed claim 10                 
          comprises a polyamide, a halogenated copolymer of a C  to C4     7                
          isomonoolefin and an alkylstyrene (hereafter “the copolymer”),              
          and a polyolefin component.                                                 
               The examiner finds that Yu discloses polyamide                         
          compositions comprising a polyamide, a polyolefin component,                
          and the copolymer as recited in appealed claim 10 (see the                  
          Final Rejection dated May 20, 1994, Paper No. 5, page 2).  The              
          examiner notes that Yu discloses both halogenated and non-
