Appeal No. 95-5097
Application No. 08/072,807
According to appellants, the invention is directed to a
polyamide composition having improved impact strength through
the inclusion of a certain impact modifier blend (Brief, page
2). Appellants also state that the claims stand or fall
together (Brief, page 3). Therefore, in accordance with the
provisions of 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(5)(1993), we select claim 10
from the grouping of claims and decide this appeal as to this
ground of rejection on the basis of claim 10 alone. Claim 10 2
is illustrative of the subject matter on appeal and is
reproduced below:
10. A polyamide composition having improved impact
resistance comprising:
(a) a polyamide; and
(b) an impact modifier comprising:
(i) a halogenated copolymer of a C4 to
C7 isomonoolefin and an
alkylstyrene; and
(ii) a polyolefin component comprising
an elastomeric or crystalline
polyolefin or mixtures thereof.
2Claim 10 has been selected from the grouping of claims
10-14 and 16 for the § 102 ground of rejection. For the § 103
ground of rejection of claims 15 and 17, we select claim 15
from the grouping and decide this appeal as to this ground of
rejection on the basis of claim 15 alone (as it depends from
claim 10). See 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(5)(1993).
