Appeal No. 95-2303
Application 07/896,073
Claims 1 through 6, 29 through 35, 39, and 40 stand
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
Davis in view of Dasai.
Claims 36 and 37 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Kennedy in view of Sabol.
As properly indicated by the examiner on page 2 of the
Answer, the appealed claims will stand or fall as grouped in
the above noted rejections. Accordingly, we will restrict our
attention to independent claims 1 and 36 which are the only
independent claims on appeal.
Opinion
For the reasons well stated by the examiner in his final
office action and Answer, it would have been obvious for one
with ordinary skill in the art to combine the applied
references in the manner proposed, thereby resulting in
compositions corresponding to those defined by the appellant's
independent claims. The appellant's arguments to the contrary
are unpersuasive because, generally speaking, they are based
upon a misperception by the appellant of the scope and content
