Application No. 08/532,976
ferromagnetic powder dispersed in a binder. The binder is a
polyurethane resin prepared by reacting a long chain diol, a
short chain diol and an organic diisocyanate. The long chain
diol is present in an amount of 1 to 5 mol% and is defined by
the recited formula.
Appellants submit at page 3 of the principal brief that
"[c]laims 1, 2, 7, 8, 13 and 14 stand or fall together."
Accordingly, all the appealed claims stand or fall together
with claim 1.
Appealed claims 1, 2, 7, 8, 13 and 14 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Kolycheck and
Ohkubo.
We have thoroughly reviewed each of appellants' arguments
for patentability, as well as the specification data relied
upon in support thereof. However, we are in full agreement
with the examiner that the claimed subject matter would have
been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art within the
meaning of § 103 in view of the applied prior art.
Accordingly, we will sustain the examiner's rejection for
essentially those reasons expressed in the Answer, and we add
the following primarily for emphasis.
