          achieving the improved properties of appellants’ toothpaste.                
          Thus, absent appellants’ disclosure, it is not apparent why                 
          one of ordinary skill in this art would have been led to use a              
          cationically-modified HEC thickening agent having the                       
          molecular weight and cationization degree claimed in the                    
          Gallopo toothpaste.
