          Application 09/138,376                                                      

          a naphthalene-containing polymer layer by an intermediate                   
          adhesive layer.                                                             
               Kim discloses a multilayer film structure having at least              
          one fluoropolymer layer bonded to at least one thermoplastic                
          polymer layer by an intermediate adhesive layer (col. 2,                    
          lines 46-51).  Kim does not disclose that the fluoropolymer layer           
          can be bonded to a naphthalene-containing polymer layer.                    
               Kemski discloses a fog-resistant film having a first layer,            
          which can be poly(ethylene naphthalate), thermally bonded,                  
          without using an adhesive, to a second layer containing a readily           
          heat sealable organic polymer and an alkyl phenyl polyethylene              
          glycol ether as an antifogging agent (col. 2, lines 3-40; col. 3,           
          lines 4-9; col. 5, lines 3-8).  No halopolymer layer is                     
          disclosed.                                                                  
               Nägeli discloses a round or oval package which has one or              
          more compartments and is suitable for containing food portions              
          (col. 1, lines 4-15).  The bottom and lid of the package comprise           
          a polyolefin or polyester layer facing the inside of the package            
          (col. 2, lines 42-44).  The disclosed polyesters include                    
          polyethylene-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate (col. 2, line 61 -               
          col. 3, line 2).  The package can include plastic, foil and                 
          ceramic layers joined by glues and/or bonding agents (col. 4,               
                                          3
