          Appeal No. 1997-3282                                                        
          Application No. 08/189,314                                                  


          elastomers that meet the shearing modulus and wettability                   
          requirements disclosed in Shibano include ethylene-alpha olefin             
          copolymers having a density of 0.80 to 0.90 g/cm  (column 13,3                           
          lines 37-48).  There is no express statement in Shibano of any              
          particular composition distribution of the polymers disclosed               
          therein.                                                                    


               Kitano relates to tapes using high performance pressure-               
          sensitive thermosetting adhesives covered with a silicon                    
          release liner.  The adhesives of this invention are said to                 
          offer excellent adhesion to metal and painted surfaces,                     
          including oily metal surfaces, as well as high shear and peel               
          strength and excellent storage properties (column 3, lines 51-              
          58).                                                                        


               Patterson relates to release sheets used with adhesive                 
          products such as adhesive tapes.  The release sheets, having                
          preferred silicone polymers as release agents, are formed on                
          paper, nonwoven fabric, polymeric film, or extrusion-coated                 
          paper substrates wherein the coextruded films consist of two                
          or more layers of polyester films including polybutylene                    
                                          6
