Appeal 97-1804
Application 08/329,042
b. With respect to Dr. Nguyen's opinion that
OPC's made in accordance with Example 1 would invariably be
continuous, non-porous (Finding 30), the examiner notes the
lack of "objective evidence to support *** [Dr. Nguyen's]
conclusion" (Examiner's Answer, page 7).
c. With respect to Dr. Nguyen's opinion that a
necessary feature of an organic photoconductor layer is that
it be non-porous because pores in the layer will adversely
affect electrical charged acceptance and retention (Finding
28), the examiner noted that applicant "is claiming a layer
not a photoconductor" (Examiner's Answer, page 9).
