Appeal No. 95-4450
Application No. 07/949,676
textile material product having the above-noted amount of
softener composition distributed thereon.
Rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102 over Llenado
Llenado generally discloses foaming compositions
containing an alkylpolysaccharide surfactant together with
sulfate, sulphonate and/or carboxylate co-surfactant(s) that
allegedly provide controllable aqueous foams (abstract, column
1, line 35 to column 2, line 19). Llenado suggests that these
foams are useful in making a variety of products including
soap bars, bubble baths, shaving creams, laundry detergent
compositions, shampoos, liquid dishwashing detergents, fire
extinguishing compositions, resin foams, plastic and gypsum
board (columns 1, 8 and 9).
In applying Llenado as an anticipatory reference to
claims 23, 25, 31 and 33 on appeal herein, the examiner
relies, in part, on Example 20, formula D of Llenado for an
alleged anticipating disclosure of appellants’ claimed
invention including the ratio of fatty acid amide to
alkylpolyglycoside recited. We cannot agree with the
examiner’s analysis.
