          Appeal No. 96-2710                                                          
          Application No. 08/164,598                                                  

          remaining in the application.  Although the examiner’s                      
          advisory action indicated that upon filing an appeal, “the                  
          proposed amendment will be entered,” (see the advisory action               
          dated 08/10/95, Paper No. 10), appellants’ response under 37                
          CFR                                                                         
          § 1.116 dated 07/31/95, Paper No. 9, did not contain any                    
          amendments to the claims.                                                   
                                    THE INVENTION                                     
          Appellants’ invention is directed to a film structure                       
          comprising at least one layer of an olefin polymer having a                 
          surface treated external layer which is printable, sealable                 
          and machinable.  The layer contains as combined slip agent and              
          antiblock, a particulate crosslinked hydrocarbyl substituted                
          polysiloxane.  The external surface comprises a liquid                      
          hydrocarbyl substituted polysiloxane.                                       
                                     THE CLAIMS                                       
          Claim 1 is illustrative of appellants’ invention and is                     
          reproduced below.                                                           
               1. A film structure comprising at least one layer of an                
          olefin homo-, co- or ter-polymer having a surface-treated                   
          external surface which is printable, sealable and machinable,               
          the layer containing, as combined slip agent and antiblock, a               
          particulate cross-linked hydrocarbyl-substituted polysiloxane,              

                                          2
