Appeal No. 95-1859
Application 08/055,100
3. The claim also requires using a laminate
comprising at least three layers, as follows:
a. The first (or top) layer is a "print-
receiving" layer referred to in the claim as a "print-
receiving lamination."
b. The second (or middle) layer is an adhesive
layer referred to in the claim as a "lamination of said
adhesive" or "adhesive backing." The adhesive must be an
"organic adhesive" which is "degradable by mineral oil." The
specification reveals the nature of what applicant means by
"degradable." Basically, the adhesive is one which when
contacted by the mineral oil is degraded to the point where it
loses "its condition as an adhesive" (specification, page 1,
lines 13-14).
c. The third (or bottom) layer is a "support
layer" referred to in the claim as a "supporting lamination."
4. The "print-receiving" layer must be in contact
with the "adhesive" layer. There can be no barrier layer
between the "print-receiving" layer and the "adhesive" layer.
5. The "adhesive" layer must contact the "support
layer."
