composition. The examiner’s position is that “it would have
been obvious to one of ordinary skill to adjust the viscosity
by adding a mixture of coating and solvent because it is
desirable to minimize the amount of solvent used in spraying

objective evidence to support this conclusion. Accordingly,

obviousness.
Conclusion
For the aforementioned reasons, the examiner’s rejection
of claims 1-6 for obviousness is affirmed and the rejection of
claims 7-9 is reversed.
