Appeal No. 1997-0140
Application No. 08/266,290
lending enhanced curability and coating properties to the
polyurethane of Markusch, the examiner has not established a
factual basis for concluding that the curatives of Akiyama
would be compatible with the polyamine internal salt-
containing polyurethane composition of Markusch. The examiner
has pointed to no teaching in Akiyama or any other prior art
reference which explains how the curatives of Akiyama operate
in the presence of a polyamine internal salt.
In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's
decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed.
