Appeal 95-4477
Application 08/006,350
20. In response to the examiner's rejection,
applicant did not point to an explicit reference in the
specification, as filed, to an A:B ratio of "about >10:1 to
15:1."
21. However, applicant stated (Amendment C, filed
December 27, 1994, page 2)
On page 16 of the specification, the chart discloses
a polysiloxane A:B ratio of as small as 4.3 (Formula 4)
and as high as 19.25 (Formula 5). The claimed range of >
10:1 and 15:1 lies between the disclosed ranges and[11]
hence, the specification fully complies with the
requirement of § 112 first paragraph. If the Examiner,
however, has any other suggestions regarding the
aforementioned, he is invited to offer the same.
22. In an Advisory Action (Paper 12), the examiner
withdrew the § 112 rejection.
23. The examiner did not require, however, that
applicant amend the specification to make reference to new A:B
ratio. See 37 CFR § 1.75(d)(1).
24. There is a chart in the specification (page 16)
describing "examples of the inventive medium ***". The chart,
We note that applicant's former practitioner again leaves out any reference to11
"about" with respect to the ratio >10:1.
