The opinion in support of the decision being entered today was not written for publication and is not binding precedent of the Board. Paper No. 26 UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE _____________ BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS AND INTERFERENCES _____________ Ex parte SATISH KUMAR GAGGAR and FUH-SHENG CHEN _____________ Appeal No. 1999-2488 Application No. 08/841,027 ______________ ON BRIEF _______________ Before KIMLIN, GARRIS, and PAWLIKOWSKI, Administrative Patent Judges. GARRIS, Administrative Patent Judge. DECISION ON APPEAL This is a decision on an appeal from the final rejection of claim 10 and from the refusal of the examiner to allow claims 2- 71 and 9 as amended subsequent to the final rejection. These are all of the claims remaining in the application. 1We observe that the phrase “said vinyl aromatic-vinyl cyanide rigid copolymer” in claim 6 lacks strict antecedent basis and apparently should read –-said vinyl aromatic-unsaturated nitrile rigid resin–-. This informality is deserving of correction in any further prosecution that may occur.Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
