          Appeal No. 95-5115                                                          
          Application No. 08/091,999                                                  


          the first mentioned references teaches in essence adding                    
          silica to a surface layer in order to provide it with                       
          characteristics such as abrasion resistance.  The very concept              
          of an abrasion resistant surface layer plainly is antithetical              
          to the examiner’s proposal of covering this layer with Brown’s              
          release layer.  Accordingly, we also cannot sustain the § 103               
          rejections based upon Oguchi in view of Brown or Japanese ‘464              
          in view of Brown or Japanese ‘870 in view of Brown or Japanese              
          ‘765 in view of Brown or Japanese ‘260 in view of Brown.
