Interference No. 102,922 Interference No. 103,088 the Gill arguments. Initially, we point out that Dumas himself testified that Hercon ®40 and Hercon® 48 contain alkyl ketene dimer and a cationic resin. This testimony is corroborated by the manufacturing specifications put out by Hercules who makes these products, DX’s 4-5 and 17-19 and by the testimony of 8 Evans (DR 74-75) and Hosker(DR 147-148, 154-155), long time employees of Hercules, who indicated their awareness of the contents of these products. Alberts (DR 169, 178-181, 198-199) and Fredericks (DR 212-213, 216-217, 238-240) both product supervisors for AKD at Hercules, also indicate their familiarity with the product and its formulation. Both indicate that the specifications of Hercon® would not change nor would the ratios of resin to dimer. Techentin provided the structure for AKD. This evidence is further confirmed by Gill, himself, who acknowledges that AKD was a commercially available product 8DX4 and DX5 identify Hercon® 40 and 48 as containing Aquapel® 364 and Resin 2399 in dffering ratios, DX-17 identifies Aquapel® 364 as ketene dimer. DX 19 identifies Resin 2399 as polymer 2399 and epichlorohydrin. DX identifies polymer 2399 as diethylenetriamine (DETA) and dicyandiamide (DICY). 24Page: Previous 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
