case, the examiner has not carried this burden.
For the above reasons, we conclude that the examiner has
not carried his burden of establishing a prima facie case of
obviousness over Chao of the process recited in any of
appellants’ claims. Accordingly, the rejection of claims 7-11
over Chao is reversed.
Rejection over Henning in view of Hombach
Henning discloses mixtures of aqueous polymer dispersions
which include (A) at least one aqueous dispersion having a
film forming temperature below 70EC, with hydrophile groups,
preferably a dispersion of polyurethanes having hydrophile
groups, and (B) at least one aqueous dispersion of a polymer
which does not form a film below 70EC and which has a melting
point greater than 70EC, wherein the weight ratio of
dispersions (A) to (B) is from 97:3 to 50:50, based on the
solids content of the dispersions (pages 2, 3 and 10). The
mixtures are disclosed as being useful for forming coatings,
especially coatings on flexible substrates such as textile
substrates or leather
