Appeal No. 95-4081
Application 08/071,895
lubricating or functional composition claims. We have found
no separate arguments with respect to any specific lubricating
composition claims, concentrate claim 30 or grease composition
claim 35. Separate arguments, however, have been presented
with respect to:
(1) claims 20 and 25 (page 6) and2
(2) claims 32 and 34 (page 6).3
Accordingly, we will consider the broadest lubricating
composition claim, which is claim 26. All claims, except
claims 20, 25, 32 and 34 stand or fall with claim 26. We
will, however, give independent consideration to claims 20,
25, 32 and 34 for which separate arguments were explicitly
made.
We have not overlooked that portion of the Appeal Brief
(page 4) which describes the nature of various groups of
claims. A mere recitation in a brief of what a claim
In the Appeal Brief, applicants specifically mention claims 22 and 25. The2
reference to claim 22, both in the Appeal Brief and the Reply Brief (Paper 15 at page
2), obviously was intended to be a reference to claim 20.
In the Appeal Brief, applicants specifically mention claims 33 and 34. The3
reference to claim 33, both in the Appeal Brief and the Reply Brief (Paper 15 at page
3), obviously was intended to be a reference to claim 32.
