Appeal No. 2005-2442
Application No. 10/121,284
an oxidizing agent” is a distinct member of a list that also
includes molecules with ring structures or precursor mixtures
including Si, O, and C. We note that Example 4 is simply
indicative that trimethylsilane is a first precursor. Because
Example 4 indicates that the first precursor includes
trimethylsilane, then molecules of methylsilanes4 can support the
examiner’s interpretation. Also, the disclosure found in column
3 at lines 14 through 27 of Grill sets forth examples of the
first precursor. From the examples listed therein,
trimethysilane is not an example according to appellants’
interpretation (that “decamethylcyclopenta-siloxane (C10H30O5Si5)
molecules of methylsilanes” is the proper interpretation, and
means the methylsilanes are part of the
decamethylcyclopentasiloxane ring structure).
In view of the above, we do not find in the Request any
argument convincing us of error in the conclusions we reached in
our Decision mailed February 27, 2006. Accordingly, appellants'
Request for Rehearing is denied.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (effective Sep. 13, 2004; 69 Fed. Reg. 49960
(Aug. 12, 2004); 1286 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 21 (Sep. 7, 2004)).
4 Trimethylsilane is an example of a methylsilane.
