Appeal No. 1997-3646 Page 2
Application No. 08/172,521
Appellant's invention relates to an electrophotographic
imaging member comprising a substrate, a charge generating
layer,
a charge transport layer and a particularly specified overcoat
layer, and a method of preparing such a member. An
understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading
of exemplary claim 15, which is reproduced below.
15. An electrophotographic imaging member
comprising a substrate, a charge generating layer, a
charge transport layer, and an overcoat layer
comprising a hydroxy triphenyl methane having at
least one hydroxy functional group and a polyamide
film forming binder capable of forming hydrogen
bonds with said hydroxy functional group of said
hydroxy triphenyl methane molecule, said charge
transport layer being substantially free of
triphenyl methane molecules.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
