Appeal No. 95-0757 Application 07/795,307 suggests the production of a finely divided polymer powder which consists of an agglomerization of primary particles having a mean particle size of from 0.1 to 20 Fm as required by the appealed process. With respect to appealed claim 9 which is directed to a finely divided crosslinked polymer powder comprising agglomerates of primary particles having a mean particle size of from .1 to 20 Fm, the examiner has cited no reference which shows an agglomerate as defined by this claim which when introduced into water disintegrates into the primary particles. Compare Anderson at column 3, lines 52-64. The decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED ) JOHN D. SMITH ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT CHUNG K.
