mutually exclusive. On return of this application to the
Examining Corps, we recommend that the examiner determine
whether glycerin polyacrylate does or does not include
Lubrajel.
Third, if glycerin polyacrylate reads on Lubrajel, it
would appear that the examiner has overlooked anticipatory
prior art. We refer to the Georgalas disclosure of Blend II,
containing approximately 62 percent by weight Lubrajel and
approximately 38 percent by weight glycerin (Georgalas, column
7, lines 20 through 25). The Blend II ingredients are
apparently mixed together first, before they are added to
Blend I during preparation of the skin treatment composition
in EXAMPLE 1 of
Georgalas (column 7, lines 64 and 65). We also refer to U.S.
Patent No. 4,781,923 issued November 1, 1988, to Pellico.
EXAMPLE 4 of that patent contains 5.6 parts by weight
Lubrajel, 5.6 parts by weight glycerin, and 1.0 parts by
weight hydrogen peroxide. In other words, in EXAMPLE 4,
Pellico discloses a composition containing approximately 46
percent by weight Lubrajel, approximately 46 percent by weight
