Appeal No. 95-2136
Application 07/980,156
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claim 6, the
only claim remaining in the present application. A copy of
illustrative claim 6 is appended to this decision.
The examiner has not applied prior art against the claimed
invention.
Appellants’ claimed invention is directed to perfumes and
flavors comprising the reaction product of amines and
organoleptically acceptable aldehydes. According to appellants,
the claimed reaction product removes or reduces unpleasant
malodors or off-flavours that arise from the presence of certain
aldehydic materials in fats and oils. The aldehyde/amine
reaction product reacts with the malodorous aldehydes and removes
them from the environment. Hence, the claimed composition
removes or reduces malodors or off-flavors while adding the
fragrance of perfumes and/or flavors to the environment.
Appealed claim 6 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first paragraph, as being based upon a non-enabling disclosure.
