          Application No. 08/975,983                                                  


          of Milne, DePauw and Ralph Lauren Paints.  We also shall                    
          sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 91, 97 and 100                   
          since appellant as not separately argued these claims apart                 
          from claim 94.  See, for example, In re Dillon, 919 F.2d 688,               
          692, 16 USPQ2d 1897, 1900  (Fed. Cir. 1990) (in banc), cert.                
          denied,  500 U.S. 904 (1991); In re Kroekel, 803 F.2d 705,                  
          709, 231 USPQ 640, 642-43 (Fed. Cir. 1986).                                 
                                       Summary                                        
               The rejection of claims 44-48, 55-63 and 69-72, under 35               
          U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, is reversed.                                 
               The rejections of claims 44-48, 55-76, 79, 82, 85, 88,                 
          91, 94, 97 and 100 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are reversed as to                 
          claims 44-48, 55-65, 68-74, 79, 82, 85 and 88, but are                      
          affirmed as to claims 66, 67, 75, 76, 91, 94, 97 and 100.                   
               The decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.
