Appeal No. 95-5126 Application No. 08/045,675 1 and 22 in conjunction with specification, pages 1 and 2. The applied prior art, however, does not recognize the importance of employing the claimed weight ratio of a 3-hydrocarbyl-2, 5-diketopyrrolidine to a dimethyl ester of an aliphatic phosphonic acid. The applied prior art is simply devoid of any suggestion, much less appellant’s suggestion, for employing the claimed weight ratio of a 3-hydrocarbyl-2, 5- diketopyrrolidine to a dimethyl ester of an aliphatic phosphonic acid. Accordingly, we reverse the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1 through 13, 22 and 23 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. CONCLUSION In summary, we conclude that (1) the § 103 rejection of claims 14 through 21 is sustained; and (2) the § 103 rejection of claims 1 through 13, 22 and 23 is not sustained. Accordingly, the decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part. 15Page: Previous 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
