thereafter were drawn about from 3.4 to 7.0 times their
original length (Spec., p. 3, l. 8-9).
McKay (‘363) also describes multifilament yarn composed
of monofilaments having multilobal cross sections (McKay
(‘363), col. 2, l. 32-35). However, McKay (‘363) describes
yarn made from polyester filaments (McKay (‘363), col. 2, l.
33), preferably polyethylene terephthalate (McKay (‘363), col.
3,
l. 33). The yarns “comprise polyester filaments which have
multilobal cross-section with 6-10 lobes which are essentially
symmetric, of substantially equal length and equispaced
radially about the center of the filament” (McKay (‘363), col.
2, l. 43-47).
The cross-sectional view of the monofilament depicted in Fig.
1 of McKay (‘363) is substantially identical to the Figure in
McKay (‘749) and is similarly described (McKay (‘363), col. 3,
