          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.
