Appeal No. 95-3320
Application 07/974,510
examiner’s rejections of Claims 1-3 and 5-18, all claims
pending in this application.
Introduction
Claims 1-3 and 5-18 stand finally rejected under 35
U.S.C.
§ 103 as being unpatentable in view of the combined teachings
of Widder, U.S. Patent 3,987,161, issued October 19, 1976, and
Tizard, Veterinary Immunology, W.B. Saunders Co.,
Philadelphia, PA, p. 168 (1977). Claim 1 is representative of
the subject matter claimed and reads:
1. A hair care product comprising a yolk antibody
which has been obtained from an egg of a domestic fowl
immunized using human hair as an antigen.
Discussion
Widder describes a hair care product comprising an
antibody-containing serum which has been obtained from the
blood of “[a]ny animal which is capable of forming antibodies
in the blood” (Widder, col. 2, l. 8-9), typically rabbits and
horses (Widder, col. 2, l. 11-12), when its body is injected
with an aqueous suspension of mammalian, preferably human hair
particles
(Widder, col. 1, l. 22-42).
