Appeal No. 95-4300
Application No. 08/165,565
suitable polycarbonates representative of the component (D). Nothing reasonable suggests
that the polycarbonate component of the claim should be read so broadly as to encompass
an aromatic brominated polycarbonate.
The examiner has provided no other information which would suggest the
incorporation of a polycarbonate, within the meaning of this application, as an additional
component to the claimed composition as claimed in claim 15. We therefore conclude, that
with respect to the subject matter of claim 15, the examiner has failed to establish that it
would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, at the time of the invention, to
modify the composition of Curry in such a manner as to arrive at the claimed composition.
Therefore the rejection of claim 15 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
SUMMARY
The rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 1-13 and 16-17 is affirmed. The
rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claim 15 is reversed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be
extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
