Application No. 08/650,608
the appellants’ claimed invention is obtained. Accordingly,
we reverse the examiner’s rejections over Sakazume.
Rejections over Orikasa
Orikasa discloses a thermoplastic resin composition which
contains 1-99 wt% of a polyarylate resin, 1-99 wt% of at least
one of a polyamide resin and a polyarylene sulfide resin, and
0.1-100 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the
above resins, of a multi-phase structure thermoplastic resin
composed of 5-95 wt% of an epoxy group-containing olefin
copolymer and 5-95 wt% of a vinyl polymer or copolymer
obtained from at least one kind of vinyl monomer, either or
both components of the multi-phase structure being in the
state of a dispersed phase having a particle diameter of 0.001
to 10 Fm (col. 1, line 59 - col. 2, line 6; col. 6, lines 19-
24). Like Sakazume, Orikasa discloses blending the multi-
phase structure with the other components of the composition
by mixing and melting (col. 2, lines 7-41; col. 6, line 66 -
col. 7, line 42; col. 9, lines 25-34).
The examiner’ rationale for rejecting the claimed
invention over Orikasa is the same as that for rejecting the
claimed invention over Sakazume (answer, page 3). We reverse
