II. REJECTION
Claims 1, 3, 5 through 8, and 10 through 16 stand
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Georgalas
and Martino.
On consideration of the record, we reverse the examiner’s
rejection.
1 The phrase “in the presence of about 1-10% by weight of a silicone”
appears to be redundant. If prosecution is resumed on this subject matter in
this application, the examiner should determine whether claim 1 meets the
statutory requirements under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph.
