Appeal 1997-2375
Application 08/376,282
Plueddemann compositions, both the Jex "amine" and the
Plueddemann disilyl crosslinker will react with the coupling
agent, and possibly with each other, to form a new "compound."
The result will not be a simple mixture of coupling agent, Jex
"amine" and Plueddemann disilyl compound.
While it is not the basis of the examiner's rejection, we
would also agree with applicant that there is no suggestion,
reason, teaching or motivation on the record for substituting
the Jex "amine" for the Plueddemann disilyl compound to make a
composition comprising a coupling agent and a Jex "amine."
On this record, the examiner's rejection is based on
impermissible hindsight. Accordingly, it must be reversed.
REVERSED.
