Appeal No. 95-2270
Application 08/005,856
b. Example 2 (col. 6) describes the mixture of
an acrylic emulsion and the emulsion of Example 1. The example
does not represent the claimed invention.
c. Example 3 (col. 6) describes testing of a
mixture of silicone and acrylic emulsion of Example 2 for shear
resistance. According to the example, it was found that the
emulsion of Example 2, when dryed on mylar, "has no shear
resistance at 70EC" (col. 6, lines 39-40). The example does not
represent the claimed invention.
d. Example 4 (col. 6) describes testing of the
emulsion of Example 2 (i.e., silicone and acrylic) after the
emulsion is "catalyzed with 2% benzoyl peroxide based on the
silicone parts of the mixture only" (col. 6, lines 44-45).
According to applicants, when tested for shear resistance at
70EC, "[t]here was no shear failure after 600 hours" (col. 6,
lines 49-50).
The Doehnert reference
25. Doehnert describes pressure-sensitive adhesives
(col. 1, line 9).
26. According to Doehnert (col. 4, lines 32-38):
[s]uitable natural and synthetic gum-like substances which
may be used singly or in admixture as the pressure-sensitive
adhesive component in the adhesive compositions of this
