Application 07/727,331
claims 1-5 and 14. Claims 6-13 have been canceled.
THE INVENTION
Appellants claimed invention is directed toward a method
for treating a warm blooded animal infected with a retrovirus
by administering to the animal a specified compound or
pharmaceutical salt thereof. Claim 1 is illustrative and
reads as follows:
1. A method for treating warm blooded animals infected
with a retrovirus, the method comprising administering to the
warm blooded animal an anti-retroviral effective amount of
2',3'-dideoxy 2',3'-didehydrocytidine or a pharmaceutically
acceptable salt thereof, either alone or in admixture with a
diluent or in the form of a medicament.
THE REJECTION
Claims 1-5 and 14 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first paragraph, on the ground that the specification fails to
provide an enabling disclosure.
OPINION
We have carefully considered all of the arguments
advanced by appellants and the examiner and agree with
appellants that the aforementioned rejection is not well
founded. We therefore do not sustain this rejection.
