              Appeal No. 2001-1818                                                                                         
              Application 09/048,533                                                                                       
              happen to the finished product.  The claim requires certain features, and although later                     
              processing may destroy those features, thereby rendering the end use of the foil (or the                     
              foil itself) essentially noninfringing, the scope of our inquiry need not extend that far.                   
                     We conclude that the language of the specification conveys to one of skill in the                     
              art that the Applicant had possession of the invention as claimed at the filing date of this                 
              application.
