10. The method of claim 1 wherein the silver
halide color photographic material has a magnetic
recording layer.
The subject matter on appeal relates to a method of
processing a silver halide color photosensitive photographical
material comprising the recited steps. (Appeal brief, pages 2-
3.) According to the appellants, the processing composition “has
an excellent fixing function” and “provides a product having an
excellent resistance to fading by light. ” (Appeal brief, page
5.) The appellants further allege that “[t]he inventive method
allows for an extremely high speed fixing step even when the rate
of addition of a replenisher is low ” and that “fixing speed could
be increased by use of a combination of a thiosulfate radical and
the specified meso-ionic compound... in a specified ratio. ”
