          Appeal No. 95-2270                                                           
          Application 08/005,856                                                       

                    4.   The resin contains "a plurality of silicon-bonded             
          hydroxy groups" (col. 2, lines 27-28).                                       
                    5.   For each mole of trialkyl silane used in the                  
          cohydrolysis, there should be used from 1 to 2 mols,                         
          advantageously about 1.2 to 1.8 mols of the alkyl silicate                   
          (col. 4, lines 15-21).                                                       
                    6.   The "fluid" is a "high viscosity organopoly-                  
          siloxane" (col. 4, line 47) "having a viscosity within the range             
          of about 75,000 to 125,000 centiposes" (col. 6, lines 16-17),                
          which is treated so as to have "a terminal silicon-bonded                    
          hydroxyl group" (col. 6, lines 30-31), and is further treated                
          "to obtain a higher viscosity material, for instance, one having             
          a viscosity of about 200,000 to 3,000,000 centipoises (col. 6,               
          lines 39-41).                                                                
                    7.   The organopolysiloxane pressure-sensitive adhesive            
          is made by mixing the "resin" and the "fluid" under conditions               
          which permit "interaction [i.e., reaction,] between the" resin               
          and fluid (col. 6, lines 62-66).                                             
                    8.   The proportion of resin to fluid advantageously is            
          within the range of 0.5 to 6.0 weight parts of fluid per weight              
          part of resin (col. 7, lines 21-24).                                         
                    9.   In Table 1 of Example 1 there is described three              
          resin/fluid mixtures said to have been used to make pressure-                
                                        - 3 -
