          Appeal No. 94-4489                                                          
          Application No. 07/857,216                                                  


          vulcanization temperatures.  One of ordinary skill in the art               
          would have had a reasonable expectation of avoiding the                     
          melting of the thermoplastic microsphere during vulcanization               
          to form  improved compressible printing blankets.                           
               In view of the foregoing, we affirm the examiner’s                     
          decision rejecting all appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
