bisimides, provides bisimide resin compositions with good
physical properties and enhanced processability for electrical
laminating applications (specification, page 1, line 24 to page
2, line 12).
To describe the invention in greater detail, a copy of the
claims as taken from the appeal brief is attached as an appendix
to this decision.
The reference relied upon by the examiner is:
Corley 5,086,139 Feb. 4, 1992
Claims 1-15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as3
claiming the same invention as that of claims 21-25 of Corley.
Claims 1-15 also stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112 first and
second paragraphs as the claimed invention is not described in
such full, clear, concise and exact terms as to enable any person
skilled in the art to make and use the same, and/or for failing
to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter
which applicant regards as the invention. For reasons developed
below, we reverse each of the above-noted rejections.
3We note appellant’s statement (brief, page 4) that “claims
1-15 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as claiming the same
invention as that of claims 1-25 of prior U.S. Patent No.
5,086,139.” This statement is incorrect. The correct statement
of the rejection is noted at page 2 of the examiner’s answer
filed August 6, 1993 (paper no. 15).
