Appeal No. 95-4199 Application No. 08/068,445 The subject matter on appeal relates to thermoplastic terpolymers having particular polysiloxane, aromatic polyester and polycarbonate segments. See specification, page 1, lines 6-8. These terpolymers are said to exhibit “non- Newtonian melt viscosities, advantageous low temperature properties and resistance to solvents, chemicals, hydrolysis and to photodecomposition.” See specification, page 1, lines 9- 11. Cl aims 1 and 8 ar e re prese ntative of the subject matter on appeal and read as follows: 1. A thermoplastic terpolymer, which comprises: (a) about 1 to about 50 weight percent of a repeating or recurring polysiloxane unit, based on the total weight of the terpolymer, of the formula: where R and R are each independently selected from hydrogren,1 2 hydrocarbyl, or halogen-substituted hydrocarbyl; D is an integer of from about 10 to about 120; and Y is hydrogen, 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
