Appeal No. 95-2221
Application No. 07/994,072
the goals of Parker's invention. Moreover, the appealed
method requires a heat treatment of a three layer composite to
form a plasticized structure and "then cooling" to effect the
solidification of the non-woven layers. As evident from the
disclosure referred to above in Parker, Parker's process does
not involve an "immediate" cooling step, after the heating of
the composite layers. Indeed, Parker only cools, after the
article is shaped by the press molding step.
Accordingly, we cannot sustain rejection (7). Moreover,
since the "secondary references" utilized in rejections (8),
(9) and (10) do not remedy the basic defects in the examiner's
rejection (7), we cannot sustain these rejections.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
