Appeal 2007-1135
Application 09/986,264
As to the substrate, claim 14 requires that the substrate have a first
layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer comprises two portions:
(i) a first portion having a surfactant associated therewith and
comprising indicia indicating that the first portion is for cleansing; and
(ii) a second portion having a surfactant associated therewith in an
amount that is less than the first portion.
As to the breakable capsule, claim 14 requires that the at least one
breakable capsule comprises:
(a) a first breakable capsule disposed adjacent to the first portion of
the substrate for wetting the first portion; and
(b) a second breakable capsule adjacent to the second portion of the
substrate for wetting the second portion.
Appellant asserts that the arrangement defined by claim 14 is not
taught by the combination of references relied upon by the Examiner. We
disagree.
The combination of Bechmann and Beck teach a substrate and at least
one breakable capsule (FF 1-3, 6 and 7; and discussion of claim 1, supra).
As to the substrate, Beck teaches that the substrate has a first layer and a
second layer (FF 8-10), wherein the first layer comprises two portions (FF
15):
(i) a first portion having a surfactant associated therewith (FF 10) and
comprising indicia indicating that the first portion is for cleansing (FF 12-
14); and
(ii) a second portion having a surfactant associated therewith in an
amount that is less than the first portion (FF 12).
