          Application No. 08/430,083                                                  

          21 USPQ2d 1941, 1943-44 (Fed. Cir. 1992); In re Fine, 837 F.2d              
          1071, 1074, 5 USPQ2d 1596, 1598-99 (Fed. Cir. 1988).                        
               Here, the examiner makes reference to Example 1 of                     
          Mosbach (answer, page 3) where Mosbach discloses the use of a               
          mixture of a uretdione diisocyanate (dimer) and an                          
          icocyanurate polyisocyanate (trimer) as part of a                           
          polyisocyanate mixture having an NCO content of 21.6 percent                
          which is mixed with dimethoyl propionic acid and N-methyl                   
          morpholine until the NCO content of the mixture is reduced to               
          15.3 percent.  The mixture is subsequently cooled, a solution               
          thereof is applied to a glass plate and then dried to form a                
          film thereon.  The examiner additionally makes reference to                 
          column 5, line 31 of Mosbach  wherein a portion of a sentence               
          of the patent describes uretdione groups or carboxl groups                  
          present in the polyisocyanates mixtures of the patent as                    
          available reactive centers in forming high molecular weight                 
          polyurethanes.  The examiner also notes column 7, line 34 of                
          Mosbach wherein a hardness value is reported for an oven dried              
          film of a polyisocyanate mixture made from the starting                     
          components of the polyisocyanate mixture of Example 1 together
