          Appeal No. 97-3290                                                          
          Application 08/465,896                                                      




               Appellant’s invention pertains to a disposable absorbent               
          product for absorbing a body fluid.  An understanding of the                
          invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 21,              
          a copy of which can be found in the “Appendix” to the brief                 
          (Paper No. 11).                                                             


               The following rejections are before us for review.                     


               Claims 21 through 35 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                  
          112, first paragraph, as being based upon a specification                   
          which fails to enable the breadth of the claims.                            


               Claims 21 through 35 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                  
          112, second paragraph, as being indefinite.                                 


               The full text of the examiner's rejections and response                
          to the argument presented by appellant appears in the final                 
          rejection and answer (Paper Nos. 6 and 12), while the complete              
          statement of appellant’s argument can be found in the brief                 
          (Paper No. 11).
