          1993                                                                        
                                   THE REJECTIONS                                     
               Claims 30 and 34 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,                 
          first paragraph, as failing to satisfy the written description              
          requirement of the statute with respect to the formula for the              
          unsaturated amide.  Claims 30 and 34 stand rejected under 35                
          U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as lacking an adequate written               
          description in the specification for the phrase "said monomers              
          are free of acryloxy silanes and epoxy silanes", and because                
          the formulae in claims 30 and 34 are not "described" in                     
          appellants' disclosure.  Claims 30 and 34 stand rejected under              
          35 U.S.C.                                                                   
          § 112, second paragraph, because the claims set forth an                    
          improper divalent -N- radical in the formulae in claims 30 and              
          34 and, because when "m" is 1.05, the claimed compound is not               
          a polymer as required by the claim.  Claims 1 through 5, 7                  
          through 11, 13 through 17, 30 and 34 stand rejected under the               
          judicially created doctrine of obviousness double patenting
