            Declarant should have been able to reproduce the polymer films of Genske                          
            utilizing recognized processes.  The failure of the Declarant to reproduce the                    
            invention of Genske raises questions as to whether the presently claimed invention                
            is sufficiently enabled for a person of ordinary skill in the art to practice the                 
            invention without undue experimentation.  In the event of further prosecution, the                
            issues of the sufficiency of the Specification to support the claimed invention may               
            need to be explored.
