From the above calculations, both Diapers 2 and 4 have a proportion skew factor
of the absorbent core length in the back section divided by the combined absorbent
core length of the front section plus the central section to be less than about 0.10.
Thus, the claimed proportion skew factor is disclosed in Roe.
For the reasons set forth above, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 to
20 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 to 20 under
35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, is affirmed; and the decision of the examiner to
reject claims 1 to 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed.
