Appeal No. 94-4291
Application No. 07/627,009
only other claims remaining in the application, which are
claims 52-55 have been allowed by the examiner.
The subject matter on appeal relates to a hydrosilation
process and composition as well as certain products made
therefrom. This appealed subject matter is adequately
illustrated by independent claim 1, a copy of which taken from
the appellants' brief is appended to this decision.
The references relied upon by the examiner as evidence of
obviousness are:
Gruber 4,017,652 Apr. 12, 1977
McDowell 4,169,167 Sep. 25, 1979
Drahnak 4,510,094 Apr. 9, 1985
Eckberg 4,587,137 May 6, 1986
In the double patenting rejections before us, the
examiner also relies upon the claims of U.S. Patent No.
4,916,169 (Boardman) as well as the claims of co-pending
application 07/626,904 ('904 application). 2
2The examiner's provisional double patenting rejection
based upon the claims of application 07/626,905 is nullified
and thus not before us by virtue of the abandonment of this
application.
