disclosure in the paragraph bridging pages 10 and 11 of the
subject specification. However, this last mentioned cure time is
in relation to a thin layer having specified thickness of the
active composition exposed to stepwise treatment at particular
temperatures until a coherent polymer film of specific modulus
is achieved whereas the 20 hours cure time disclosed by Quay
relates to the period of time his components were held in a mold
at 80oC. Because these respective time periods involve entirely
different conditions and parameters, they cannot be reliably
compared to one another. Thus, for all we know, Quay’s
compositions would exhibit exactly the same cure times as the
here claimed compositions when subjected to the cure time
protocol defined in the appellants’ specification.
