Appeal No. 95-1441
Application No. 08/025,788
II. Claims 6 and 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable
over Fujino.
III. Claims 1 through 7 and 9 through 13 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as being unpatentable over Gray.
We summarily reverse for the reasons set forth in the appellants’ Brief (Paper No.
10) and Reply Brief (Paper No. 13). We see no reason to burden the record with further
commentary except to remark that, contrary to the examiner's portion, the
claims are clearly directed to powdered compositions requiring amounts of solid
peroxide which are effective for bleaching human hair. Here, the examiner has failed to
explain how the references relied upon would have sugested the claimed powdered
composition to a person having ordinary skill in the art.
