The claims in Application 08/147,006 are to be read
primarily in light of the specification of Dolle Application
08/147,006. Dolle’s specification (1) defines n as the
iso
average length of isotactic sequences, (2) defines n as the
syn
average length of syndiotactic sequences, (3) provides
numerical values for n and n for polypropylene produced byiso syn
the process of each of Examples 3-12, (4) describes a unique
stereochemical pentad distribution for polypropylene produced
by the process of each of Examples 3-12 from its respective C-
13 NMR spectrum, and thus, (5) provides information sufficient
to enable one skilled in the art to (a) accurately calculate
the average sequence length of the isotactic and syndiotactic
sequences of newly synthesized polyolefins based on Randall’s
preferred triad analysis of the unique pentad distribution of
each polymer from its C-13 NMR spectrum using art-recognized
formulas for calculating average sequence length, and (b)
verify the calculations of the average sequence length of the
isotactic and syndiotactic sequences by reference to the niso
and n disclosed for the polypropylene of each of Dolle’s
syn
examples. In short, we find it incongruous that persons
skilled in the art would have understood from Dolle’s
specification, especially including the supporting examples,
