Application No. 08/227,576
contained in dissolved form in said acid, of a principal amine
which is sparingly soluble or insoluble in water.
The following references are relied upon by the examiner
as evidence of obviousness:
Connelly et al. 2,766,275 Oct. 9, 1956
(Connelly)
Bodenbenner et al. 3,992,247 Nov. 16,
1976
(Bodenbenner)

(Brunnmueller) (EP)
Claim 28 is rejected under the first paragraph of 35
U.S.C. § 112 because “the specification, as originally filed,
does not provide support for the invention as is now claimed”
(answer, page 4). It is the examiner’s basic position that
“the specification only sets forth that the invention provides
a procedure for removing sulfonated organic phosphorous
compounds and other impurities from dilute sulfuric acid”
(answer, page 4) and therefore does not support the claim 28
feature directed to “unsulfonated organic phosphorous
compounds”.
