Appeal No. 1999-0918
Application No. 08/399,690
OTHER ISSUES
We leave these issues to be further explored by the Examiner in the event of
further prosecution of the application. Claim 1 appears to violate 35 U.S.C. § 112,
2nd paragraph, because the use of the variable (c) is not consistent throughout the
claim.3 Claim 10 does not appear to further limit the invention of claim 1.
3 Our decision does not rely on the portion of claim 1 which is indefinite. That is, claim 1
consistently describes variable (c) as inclusive of graft copolymers formed from ethylene - "-
olefin copolymer.
