Application No. 08/168,549
aware of the types of reaction conditions that can be
manipulated to form the claimed grafted copolymer, without
adversely affecting the desired properties of the resulting
product. Hence, we determine that the applied prior art as a

reverse the examiner’s decision rejecting claim 13 under 35
U.S.C. § 103.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner is
affirmed-in-part.
