          Appeal No. 95-4754                                                          
          Application No. 08/111,905                                                  


               Appellants’ invention is directed to a thermoplastic                   
          composition comprising the copolymer prepared by polymerizing               
          an unsaturated nitrile in the presence of a rubber polymer and              
          containing at least 50% by weight of the residue of a nitrile               
          moiety. In the alternative the thermoplastic copolymer may be               
          one obtained from copolymerizing an unsaturated nitrile in the              
          absence of a rubbery polymer. In either case the claimed                    
          subject matter requires the presence of 2,4-di-t-amyl-6-[1-                 
          (3,5-di-t-amyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]phenylacrylate. Claim 7                
          is illustrative of appellants’ invention and is reproduced                  
          below.                                                                      

               7.   A thermoplastic resin composition comprising                      
               (a) a resin prepared by copolymerizing at least an                     
          unsaturated nitrile compound as a polymerizing component in                 
          the presence of a rubber polymer and containing at least 50%                
          by weight of a structural unit derived from the unsaturated                 
          nitrile compound, or a resin prepared by copolymerizing at                  
          least an unsaturated nitrile compound as a polymerizing                     
          component in the absence of a rubber polymer, and                           
               (b) 2,4-di-t-amyl-6-[1-(3,5-di-t-amyl-2-hydroxy-                       
          phenyl)ethyl]phenylacrylate.                                                


                               THE REFERENCE OF RECORD                                


                                          2
