Appeal No. 1996-1288
Application No. 08/227,576
aromatic sulfonic acids from sulfating mixtures. Thus, the
starting material of Brunnmueller’s process includes aromatic
sulfonic acids in sulfating mixtures which differs from the
starting material of the appellants’ here claimed process
involving sulfonated and unsulfonated organic phosphorous
compounds. Moreover, the examiner refers to nothing and we
find nothing independently in our study of the secondary
references to Connelly and Bodenbenner which supplies this
deficiency of Brunnmueller. Indeed, the examiner does not
address or even seem to appreciate this deficiency.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
