                Appeal No. 2007-0301                                                                            
                Application No. 10/277,435                                                                      

                       Given the interpretation of the phrase “hindered amine light                             
                stabilizers” as being limited to hindered amine light stabilizers that are                      
                derivatives of 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl piperidine, and the guidance provided in                  
                the specification at pages 7-9 as to measuring color stability provided by the                  
                addition of the hindered amine light stabilizers, we conclude that it would                     
                not require an undue amount of experimentation to practice the full scope of                    
                the claimed invention, and the rejection is reversed.
