Table II, column 4, lines 8-24, column 10, lines 15-25) and
that the AKD resins are, in fact, cationic and possess
tertiary and quaternary amine groups (U.S. Patent 4,405,408,
column 1, lines 60-61, column 4, lines 47-62).
Moreover, as pointed out by Dumas, Gill employs HerconŽ
emulsions himself in his application. Gill argues that since
he
did not identify which HerconŽ emulsion he used, it is not
enough
to identify the alkyl ketene dimer and cationic properties.
We find Gill's argument without merit. Certainly the reliance
on the commercially available HerconŽ emulsions to identify
the alkyl ketene dimer and its cationic properties of the
count by Gill must also be accepted as sufficient for Dumas.
Gill also argues that Dumas did not establish whether or
not the HerconŽ used in DX 7 and 9 had the required "R" value
with 8 or more carbon atoms. Gill alleges that the R may be
one
