          Appeal No. 1996-1783                                                        
          Application No. 08/195,025                                                  


          presence of an additional fatty phase by noting that claim 20               
          does not clearly indicate that the fatty phase is in addition               
          to the lipidic phase (Id.).                                                 
               Appellants specifically addressed the examiner’s argument              
          by amending claim 20 on appeal by insertion of “an additional               
          phase comprising” between “when present” and “a fatty phase”                
          (see the amendment dated Feb. 21, 1996, Paper No. 14, and the               
          Reply Brief, pages 3-4).
