that one of ordinary skill in the art desired to increase the
crosslinking rate, the examiner has not provided any convincing
evidence or reasoning to support the conclusion that addition of

obviousness. Accordingly, the examiner’s rejections of the
claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) or § 103 over Knoerzer
are reversed.
