Appeal No. 95-3858
Application 07/931,628
polyalkylene oxide having an allyl glycidyl ether unit. Polaski,
the secondary reference, merely evidences the existence of a
polyalkylene oxide having an allyl glycidyl ether unit, but the
allyl glycidyl ether-polyalkylene oxide copolymer elastomers of
Polaski react with sulfur across the allylic bond to vulcanize
the elastomer. There is no teaching or suggestion in Polaski of
copolymerizing the allyl glycidyl ether-polyalkylene oxide
copolymer elastomers with vinyl acetate, as required by the
appealed claims. Since neither of the applied references, either
alone or in combination, suggests the claimed copolymers, we are
constrained to reverse the examiner’s rejection.
In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner’s
decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed.
