Appeal No. 1997-0461
Application 08/267,683
carcinogen. Thus, it would appear that using the
"lubricant/coolant" of claims 28, 29 and 31 in a metal
broaching operation which achieves high temperatures and
pressures would require special care, handling and equipment.
We observe that there is no disclosure in appellant's
specification on how to safely use appellant's claimed
composition in a metal broaching operation. Accordingly, the
examiner and appellant should consider whether appellant's
disclosure satisfies the requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first paragraph, on how to use the claimed invention.
SUMMARY
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 23 through
27 and 30 is affirmed. The decision of the examiner rejecting
claims 28, 29 and 31 is reversed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R.
§ 1.136(a).
