Application 08/119,058
aqueous polymer and an oil. Uemura discloses that the oil may
include medium chain monoglycerides, medium chain
diglycerides, medium chain triglycerides, etc. Uemura, column
1, lines 11-17; column 2, lines 36-46. The oil exemplified by
Uemura is MIGLYOL 812 . See, for example, Uemura, Example 1.3
3. Neither Lin nor Uemura discloses or suggests any
relative amounts of the mono-, di-, and triglycerides in their
respective oil vehicles.
4. The claims on appeal require that glyceride system A
has an iodine number of 40-90. Appellant argues that4
glyceride system A is “characterized by having an iodine
number between 40 and 90." Brief, page 9, lines 7-10. The
examiner does not point to any reason, suggestion, or
motivation stemming from the prior art which would have led a
person having ordinary skill to a glyceride composition having
an iodine number of 40-90.
5. In setting forth the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103,
American Chemical Society, File Registry No. RN 85409-09-2, which is3
supplied with this decision, identifies MIGLYOL 812 as “triglycerides, C8-10.”
Iodine number is the quantity of iodine, in mg, absorbed by 1 g fat or4
oil under specified conditions. The number indicates the amount of
unsaturated acids present. See Grant, which is supplied with this decision.
