Appeal No. 1997-0334 Application 08/211,698 corresponding to an equivalent ratio of isocyanate groups of component b) to alcoholic hydroxyl groups of component a) of 0.5:1 to 5:1, B) applying the mixture obtained in A) to a substrate and C) reacting the isocyanate groups and hydroxyl groups to form said polyurethane coating. OPINION THE REFERENCE The sole reference of record which is being relied on by the examiner as evidence of obviousness is: Markusch et al. 5,372,875 December 13, 1994 Markusch et al. discloses an aqueous two-component polyurethane-forming composition containing a polyisocyanate and a polyhydroxyl compound (column 1, lines 12 through 16; column 2, lines 29 through 46). The aqueous composition contains one or more polyhydroxyl compounds which are either water soluble or water dispersible and, optionally, an emulsifier (column 5, line 30 through column 6, line 22). Useful polyhydroxyl compounds include polyesters (column 5, 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
