          Appeal No. 1996-2362                                                        
          Application No. 08/203,596                                                  

          application, which are claims 9, 10, 14 and 15, have been                   
          indicated by the examiner as either allowed or allowable.                   
               The subject matter on appeal relates to a liquid toner                 
          and to a process for the use thereof.  The toner comprises a                
          polymer blend having certain characteristics associated with                
          temperature and viscosity.  This appealed subject matter is                 
          adequately illustrated by independent claim 6, a copy of which              
          taken from the supplemental appendix of the appellant’s reply               
          brief is appended to this decision.                                         
               No references are relied upon by the examiner in the                   
          rejection set forth below which is the sole rejection                       
          remaining on this appeal.                                                   
               Claims 6 through 8 and 11 through 13 are rejected under                
          the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 for being based upon an              
          original disclosure which would not enable one having an                    
          ordinary level of skill in this art to practice the here                    
          claimed invention.                                                          
               We refer to the brief and reply brief and to the answer                
          and supplemental answer for a complete exposition of the                    
          opposing viewpoints expressed by the appellant and the                      
          examiner concerning the above noted rejection.                              

                                          2
