Appeal No. 1998-0306
Application No. 08/450,227
sensitive adhesive wherein the activatable composition is non-tacky prior to exposure to
the activating treatment as required by the appealed claims.
For this reason alone, the examiner’s § 103 rejection of claims 40-44, 46-48 and
51-55 as being unpatentable over Skoultchi cannot be sustained. Moreover, since the
above discussed deficiencies of Skoultchi are not supplied by the Mallya reference, we
also cannot sustain the examiner’s § 103 rejection of claim 45 as being unpatentable over
Skoultchi in view of Mallya.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
