language "coordination catalyst, one component of which
contains a Ti-Cl bond." Claims 11-17 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as being based upon an
original specification that does not provide descriptive
support for the claim language "interpolymerizing ethylene
with an alpha olefin CHR=CH wherein R is a saturated
2
aliphatic radical with 2 or more carbon atoms or a
cycloaliphatic radical" (claim 11) and "interpolymerizing
ethylene with styrene C H CH=CH " (claim 17). Claims 11-13 and
65 2
17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being clearly
anticipated by Vandenberg. Claims 14-16 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Vandenberg. Also,
claims 11-17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Anderson in view of Vandenberg.
We will sustain the examiner's rejection of claims 11 and
17 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph. The examiner has
set forth an explanation that the term "coordination catalyst"
is not described within the meaning of § 112, first paragraph,
in appellants' original U.S. Application Serial No.
04/514,097, filed June 8, 1955 and Italian Patent Application,
Serial No. 25109, filed July 27, 1954, which applications
