                Application No. 10/276,547                                                                                               

                                                              Summary                                                                    
                        The specification does not disclose a substantial, credible utility for the                                      
                compounds identified in the claimed method, and Appellant cannot rely on post-filing                                     
                evidence to bolster the specification’s disclosure.  The rejections under 35 U.S.C.                                      
                §§ 101 and 112, first paragraph are affirmed.                                                                            
                        No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal                                   
                may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
