          Application 08/134,361                                                      



          GARRIS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                        





                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                    This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims              
          1, 3, 4, and 6 through 21, which are all of the claims pending              
          in the application.                                                         
                    The subject matter on appeal relates to a multilay-               
          ered color photographic element comprising at least two blue                
          sensitive silver halide emulsion layers of different sensitiv-              
          ities wherein the more sensitive blue layer is farther from                 
          the element support and wherein the weight ratio of dye-form-               
          ing coupler to photo-graphic silver halide (expressed as                    
          silver) in this more sensitive layer is not more than 0.10.                 
          This appealed subject matter is adequately illustrated by                   
          independent claim 1, which reads as follows:                                
                    1.  A multilayered color photographic element                     
          comprising a support having coated thereon photographic silver              
          halide emulsion layers said layers including at least two                   
          blue sensitive silver halide emulsion layers of different                   


                                          2
