          Application No. 09/042,735                                                  

          aliphatic chain and a dicarboxylic acid) with an NCO-terminated             
          polyurethane prepolymer (which in turn comprises the reaction               
          product of a polyether polyol and a polyisocyanate) wherein the             
          polyol and polyurethane prepolymer are blended together to form a           
          laminating adhesive having an initial viscosity less than about             
          25,000 mPa.s at 25oC+/-5oC.                                                 
               The appealed subject matter also relates to a laminate, a              
          package, a bond assembly and an article, each of which includes             
          the aforenoted adhesive.  Further details of this appealed                  
          subject matter are set forth in representative independent claim            
          19 which reads as follows:                                                  
                    19.  A method of laminating flexible packaging                    
                    comprising the steps of:                                          
                    a) providing a laminating adhesive comprising an                  
                    isocyanate composition comprising the reaction product            
                    of:                                                               
                    i) at least one polymeric polyol (part A) comprising              
                    the condensation product of:                                      
                         1) at least one alkylene diol having a hydroxyl              
                         number in a range of from about 950 to about 1250;           
                         and                                                          
                         2) at least one diol containing a pendant                    
                         aliphatic chain having a hydroxyl number in a                
                         range of from about 950 to about 1250; and
