Appeal No. 2003-0757
Application No. 09/849,884
absorber in both layers while the inner coating is 9-10 microns
in thickness and the outer coating is limited to a 3-4 micron
coating thickness. These limitations are not found in the claims
on appeal. Appellant has not established that the concentration
of absorber used in Example 1 could be interpolated or predicted
by one of ordinary skill in this art to support the scope of the
claims on appeal. As noted in the Decision (page 7), appellant
discloses that common classes of ultraviolet absorbers are
benzophenones and benzotriazoles (specification, page 2, ll. 16-
18) while we note that Example 1 is limited to Tinuvin 328.
For the foregoing reasons, we have considered appellant’s
Request but we do not find in the Request any argument convincing
us of error in the conclusions reached in our Decision.
Accordingly, appellant’s Request for Rehearing is denied.
