Appeal No. 1996-2801
Application 08/134,361
[e]ach of claims 7 and 19-21 fail to
particularly point out and distinctly claim
how "substantially free" of yellow dye-
forming coupler is within the scope of the
weight ratio of dye-forming coupler to
photographic silver in the blue sensitive
layer of not more than 0.10 (answer, page
7).
Claims 8 through 11 and 13 through 16
are each rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first paragraph, when they each recite
"wherein the weight ratio of dye-forming
coupler to photographic silver halide
(expressed as silver) in the first blue
sensitive layer is not more than 0.10", for
the reasons set forth in the objection to
the specification (answer, page 6).
Claims "1-7 [sic, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7] and 11 are rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Chari"
(answer, page 3).
Claims 10, 12 through 17, and 20 are rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Chari.
Finally, claims 8, 9, 18, 19 and 21 are rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Chari in view
of Chang.
