Appeal No. 95-4577
Application No. 08/001,192
This is a decision on an appeal which involves claims 3
through 6, 8, 10 through 17 and 25 through 29. The only 2
other claims remaining in the application, which are claims 18
through 24, have been allowed.
The subject matter on appeal relates to a non-stick
coating which comprises refractory fibres mixed with at least
one fluorocarbon resin and to a cooking article having such a
non-stick coating. This appealed subject matter is adequately
illustrated by independent claims 25, 27, 28 and 29, a copy of
which taken from the appellants' brief is appended to this
decision.
The sole reference relied upon by the examiner as
evidence of obviousness is:
Yoshimura et al. 4,248,763 Feb. 3, 1981
(Yoshimura)
All of the claims on appeal are rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as being unpatentable over Yoshimura.
2As pointed out by the examiner in his answer and noted
by the appellants' attorney during the oral hearing, claims 8
and 10 inappropriately depend from canceled claims. This
informality should be corrected upon return of the application
to the jurisdiction of the examiner.
