Appellant's claimed invention is directed to a process
for making ultrahigh contrast photographic negative images by
developing a silver halide emulsion in the presence of an
onium compound having at least one quaternary nitrogen atom
and at least one tertiary amine function.
Appellant submits at page 3 of the brief that with the
exception of claim 7, all the appealed claims stand or fall
together with claim 1. However, the argument section of
appellant's brief fails to present an argument that is
reasonably specific to claim 7. Accordingly, all the appealed
claims stand or fall together with claim 1. In re Nielson,
816 F.2d 1567, 1572, 2 USPQ2d 1525, 1528 (Fed. Cir. 1987).
