              Application No. 08/165,565                                                                                   




                                                     DISCUSSION:                                                           

                                                       The Claims                                                          

                     Claim 1 is directed to a composition comprising an aromatic brominated                                
              polycarbonate resin, a polyester carbonate resin and a silicone-polyimide resin.  The                        
              composition may additionally contain an aromatic polycarbonate having a molecular                            
              weight of about 40,000 to about 90,000.  In addition, the composition is further comprised                   
              of a metal salt of a monomeric or polymeric halogenated aromatic sulfonic acid and a filler                  
              or a pigment selected from the group consisting of treated clay, talc, titanium dioxide,                     
              glass particulate, glass fibers, treated silica and carbon black.  Claim 15 differs from claim               
              1 in requiring the presence of about 10 parts of an aromatic polycarbonate (Component D)                     
              and 0.1 to 5.0 parts by weight of titanium dioxide or carbon black.                                          
                                         The rejections  under 35 U.S.C. § 103                                             
                     Claims 1-13 and 15-17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over                       
              the combination of Curry, and alternatively Mark '245 or Mark '366.                                          
                     Claims 1-13 and 15-17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over                       
              the combination of Curry, alternatively Mark '245 or Mark '366 in further view of Lupinski or                
              Kelly.                                                                                                       
                     We have chosen to group the grounds of rejection before us under                                      


                                                            4
