polypropylene which were well known in the prior art.
Nevertheless, Dr. Scott also states (Declaration of Carl
Scott,
p. 9 (RE 8)):
Based upon this assumption and the foregoing analysis,
I believe that one skilled in the art reading the
specification and claims of Serial No. 147,006 of
Dolle et al, would not be able to deduce the limits
of a polymer sequence said to be an isotactic sequence
or a syndiotactic sequence, without knowing more about
the particular nomenclature or analysis techniques used
by the author in describing the polymer sequences.
Thus, rather than question the APJ’s holding that the phrase
“sequence length” in the phrase “syndio-isoblock polymer
having molecular chains in which syndiotactic and isotactic
sequences are present and the sequence length is 3-50 monomer
units” refers to the average sequence length of each of the
isotactic and syndiotactic sequences present, Dr. Scott
declares that he is unable to deduce the limits of a polymer
sequence said to be an “isotactic sequence” and/or a
“syndiotactic sequence,” i.e., the meaning of the phrases
“isotactic sequence” and “syndiotactic sequence,” from Dolle’s
specification (id.).
